Essential Church Women's Retreat
2024-10-25 - 2024-10-27

Indigenous Convocation
2024-10-26 09:00 - 16:00
Bishop Susan Haynes invites you to participate in the Diocese of Southern Virginia’s second Matoaka Covenant celebration, We Are All Related, on October 26th from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Chanco on the James.
One of the key tenants of our faith and of the Matoaka Covenant is to be in relationship with each other and to actively tend to those relationships. We Are All Related offers an opportunity for participants to connect with our Indigenous neighbors and tribal leaders, to understand more about land acknowledgment statements, the Doctrine of Discovery, and the tragic History of Indian Boarding Schools.
The Rev. Dr. Bradley Hauff, Indigenous Missioner for the Episcopal Church, will be leading several segments during the day. I look forward to our time of learning, connection, and exploration, and hope you will join me for this day that is brought to you by The Repairers of the Breach Committee.
Registration is now open for a day that promises to be one of interaction, education, and celebration! Register at the link below!

2025 Summer Camp Open House Extravaganza
2024-11-10 11:30 - 16:00
Calling all adventure seekers and fun enthusiasts! We know this summer has come to an end…but we are already looking forward to our 2025 Summer Camp adventures and we want you to be a part of it!
Do you get bored sitting at home during summer break? Chanco’s got you covered. Tired of sitting inside playing video games? Chanco Summer Camp can remedy that. Looking to make new friends and create unforgettable memories? Yep! Chanco Summer Camp is the place to be!
Imagine this: Crisp autumn air, changing leaves, and an expansive riverfront view. Incredible, right? But wait, that’s not all! Our open house isn’t just about sightseeing – although you may catch a bald eagle or two. Oh no, it’s about diving into our camp head-on and experiencing all that Camp Chanco has to offer. Our incredible counselors will be available to help answer your questions and navigate around.
Who’s invited? Everyone! What does Chanco have to offer? Come on out to our open house and experience for yourself! We’ll tour the campus, enjoy delicious food, zipline through the trees, get creative with face painting, enjoy a hayride, and so much more together,
giving you the chance to dip your toes into the excitement and see if Chanco is the right fit for you.
Contact programs@chanco.org or 888-7CHANCO (888-724-2626) for more details.
