2026 Camp Cycle of Prayer Launch
Episcopal Camps and Conference Centers (ECCC) invites the Episcopal Church and the wider community to join in our Summer Camp Cycle of Prayer, lifting up the campers, staff, families, and sacred spaces of Episcopal camps, conference centers, and retreat ministries across the Episcopal Church.
Use your gifts to guide our church
Too often, important decisions about the future of the Church are made without the voices of those who work most directly with emerging generations, outdoor ministry, hospitality, formation, retreat ministry, and transformative community-building. ECCC leaders understand things that the broader Church desperately needs right now: how to build belonging, how to form leaders, how to create brave and welcoming spaces, and how to help people encounter God in authentic community.
ECCC Easter Message
There’s a difference between being ready and being ready together.
This is the story at the heart of Easter.
We Hope. we grieve. we pray.

Valle Crucis answers the call
Valle Crucis Conference Center, and their surrounding community were also hit hard by Helene. In the immediate aftermath, they acted as a community center - providing food, hygiene supplies, charging centers, and hot showers to the local town. They opened every day, as long as their generator would let them, and gave away everything they could.
