Unboxing Your Faith — EYC Fall Weekend 2022

Fall Weekend is an opportunity for youth to come together with friends from all over the Diocese and to spend time in retreat with God.

Youth in grades 6 through 12 are invited to join us for a weekend of camp fun and fellowship as we explore not only what it means to be an Episcopalian, but how we share our faith with others. The EYC board has been exploring why faith matters today and are excited to share what they learned with the youth of the Diocese. During the weekend, youth will be staying in conference room housing and will have an opportunity to not only grow in their faith but also grow in community with activities around camp.

Fellowship is fun, spiritual, motivating, musical, and active… and it’s at Chanco, so register now!
