Camp Wood – MEGA Summer Camp
Camp Wood features a variety of activities such as horseback riding, archery, climbing tower, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, water slide, mud slide, arts and crafts, and sports. The volunteer Episcopal staff provides solid Christian education, featuring worship, music, small group discussions, and prayer.

Episcopalians have been attending Summer Camp the first week in June at Camp Wood YMCA for over 80 years. Camp Wood is accredited by the American Camp Association–a process that has over 300 safety and quality standards. There are separate age-appropriate Christian education, camp activities, and sleeping arrangements for three age-groups, as well as healthy well-balanced meals with accommodations available for allergies.

When: May 31-June 6, 2026
Where: Camp Wood YMCA, Elmdale, KS
Who: Students in grades 3-12 for 2025-26 school year (you must have finished third grade to attend); 
Camp is not restricted to Episcopalians or regular churchgoers. All are welcome, so feel free to invite friends and family.
Cost: $550 (price increases $50 after May 1)
There is a $25 non-refundable deposit due at registration.

Payment plans are available. If you choose, UltraCamp will automatically divide the cost of camp over the remaining months between when you register and the start of camp. The full camp fee must be paid by the first day of camp. Register early to have more, smaller payments.

Volunteer Camp Staff Needed
With 185 campers already signed up, this year's MegaCamp is going to be a blast! It takes around 50 volunteers to make Episcopal Summer Mega Camp happen, and we still need a few counselors. Being on camp staff is hard work, but it is also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually rewarding. 

  • Our primary need is for camp counselors who stay in cabins with young people. We also need a few musicians and nurses/medical professionals.
  • You can preference the age-group(s) you want to work with on the registration form.
  • There is no monetary cost to be on camp staff.
  • We need people who are available for the entire week.
If you have questions about being on camp staff, you can check-out our camp staff web page here: https://edokformation.wordpress.com/camp-staff/ or contact the Youth Missioner. 

If you're ready and excited to sign-up, please register via UltraCamp: https://bit.ly/EDOKSessions.
