Outdoor Ministries Connection: Camp Directors' Report (2020)

Research is one of the key ways to map the landscape of outdoor ministries and tell the story of what we contribute to the church and society. Every other year, through our partnership with other outdoor ministry associations across the mainline Protestant denominations (Outdoor Ministries Connection, or OMC), ECCC participates in a survey on the state of our sites and centers. 2020’s survey provided insights about the state and impact of Christian camping, broadly, and the many implications of COVID-19.

This report is the overall ecumenical picture; here is the specific report on ECCC camps.

These surveys, conducted every other year, tell compelling stories about the state of Christian camping and retreat ministries. We are considering ways to distribute these stories and the data to advocate for Episcopal camps, we want to know: What would be most helpful to your organization? What data and stories need to be shared, how, and with whom? Share ideas with Patty.
