Summer is almost here! The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and schools are coming to the
end of their academic years. Graduations and celebrations are happening all over the place, and with them comes the promise of sum-mer. What adventures lay in store for you this summer?
The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles has its very own summer adventure experience for kids 8 – 16 years of age at Camp Stevens, the Episcopal Church camp for both the Los Angeles and San Diego dioceses. Adven-ture sessions run about a week and kids are treated to a wonderful experience of being in a peaceful place apart. At camp kids learn their faith through experience: experiences of the natural world and all its awe and mys-tery, experiences of relationships with adults and children which are wholesome, loving, and accepting, and experiences of their own growth as they are challenged and encour-aged. Every evening, when the adventure is over for the day and it is time to wind down and go to bed, a chaplain reflects with the children on their day, what they have learned, and how all of those experiences connect them closer to the God who loves them.
On its website, Camp Stevens shares its mission and core values:
The Camp Stevens mission is to inspire, challenge, and empower personal, social, and environmental transformation.
Rooted in the Episcopal Church and our natural world, Camp Stevens’s core values are:
Openness: We celebrate diversity and wel-come all to our table to listen to and learn from one another.
Gratitude: We believe that gratitude to-
ward one another, the natural world, and God is the foun-dation upon which humans build a healthier, more sus-tainable, and loving world.
Connection: We challenge all who experi-ence this peaceful place apart to reconnect with themselves and connect meaningfully with one another, the natural world, and the Divine.
Wonder: We believe that a sense of wonder transforms adults and children alike, renew-ing joy, excitement, and mystery in the world we live in.
For information and to register for sum-mer camp, visit campstevens.org. If you are an adult and would like to experience this peace-ful place apart for yourself, check out the pro-grams for adults. At Camp Stevens, as is true with the Episcopal Church, all are welcome! ?
