Episcopal Youth Music Camp and Festival

05/28/2022

Everyday I have memories of EYMC- Music Camp. Even though our last camp was 2019 there are moments in my day that remind me of our amazing camp moments and friendships. We now have an entire new generation of folks who have never experienced camp and have asked when will EYMC happen...

I think it's time to create some opportunities to gather around a campfire and share stories and dream about what camp could be in the future.

Send a message if you'd like to engage in campfire conversations about how we make camp new.

Hello Camp Community!

The EYMC Deans have put together a survey with the intention of making camp the best it can be. We will be using the answers from this survey to create an Advisory Board that will assist the Deans with the organization of EYMC. We want to hear from you! If you have a moment, please take this survey before it closes on December 1st.

The EYMC Deans are looking to gather information to help develop an Advisory Board. Our goal with the Advisory Board is to create transparency in the decision making process and to create an avenue of open communication.

Still time to GO!! Let us know if you have questions, otherwise, jump in and join Camp Agape! You decide what you want to participate in and enjoy from home. We miss you all. Much love!

Camp Agape is starting this week! New campers can join in for any part of this "choose your own adventure" camp anytime from July 11 - Aug 8. Our big hope for Camp Agape is that, whenever we are online or outdoors together, the Holy Spirit will renew our hearts and bless our beloved community with faith, hope, love, and joy.

Our amazing team of counselors gathered this past weekend, with social distance, to launch Camp Agape. They prayed, planned, and wrote their first note to the campers they are paired up with. Our Friday night campfire talks will be shared out with all of ECMN, and we will be using a sign-up to invite intentional prayer for this beloved community on these special evenings as well. In the meantime, please pray or our 64 campers and leaders today as they start their camp experience, and for the 23 episcopal faith communities all over Minnesota who love them. Then stay tuned here and follow along for the next four weeks to see what the Holy Spirit has in store for all of ECMN.

We will not be having a virtual campfire or hang out tonight. Please enjoy your Sunday evening and we wish a Happy Mother's Day to all those who are "Moms" in any capacity. You are loved. ❤️ We encourage you to spread the love and reach out to anyone who has impacted you in a loving a nurturing way.

Our next virtual campfire is tomorrow at 7:30pm central! The theme is meditation and relaxation. We are no longer using the webinar format and are switching to the typical Zoom/video chat format to allow for a better face to face connection within the EYMC community. You can join us using the link in this post. We will start off with our campfire and transition to our community chat once the campfire has ended. Feel free to come and go as you need. See you there!

Our next virtual campfire is tomorrow, April 5th at 7:30pm central time. The theme is community. During hard times, it's always a good remember the wonderful communities that you are apart of and can reach out to for support. To go along with the theme, we encourage everyone to wear a shirt or jersey of your favorite sports team (or another community of your choice)! What is camp without costumes, right? 😄
