Adult Camp weekend at Paradise Point Camp

Paradise Point Camp invites the National Episcopal Church to support Adult Camp as a young adult ministry in McCall, Idaho. The goal of this program is to establish a weekend retreat for young adults in Idaho to connect with each other, the Episcopal Church, and God in the beautiful location of Paradise Point Camp. With targeted recruitment at nearby colleges and universities Paradise Point Camp aims to bring young adults (aged 18-30 years old) together for spiritual growth and leadership development through faith, fellowship and fun. Camps are a perfect space to try new things (like stand-up paddleboarding, high ropes course, or archery) while providing a unique opportunity to connect spiritually in a “thin space” surrounded by God’s creation. With financial support to lower the weekend retreat cost to fit a college student’s budget and include provided transportation between the population center (Boise, Idaho) to Paradise Point Camp (McCall, Idaho) the National Episcopal Church is invited to bring more young adults in Idaho into the Episcopal Church community through camping.
