Upcoming Events

Camp Week is a week-long digital celebration of the incredible work that our Episcopal camps do. It includes shout outs to staff all-stars, memorable quotes, and meaningful stories of the impact that our programs have.

ECCC’s Annual Conference will be held January 29th - Feb 5th 2027 at Camp McDowell. Our annual conference brings together conference, retreat, and camp professionals for a week of learning, horizon broadening, connection building, and community life (where you don’t have to be the one in charge for once!).

Balancing Mission and Revenue
Focus: Navigating financial sustainability while staying true to mission.
Opening Question: Have you ever taken a booking that was financially helpful but missionally complicated- or vice versa?
