The Episcopal Conference Center
belongs to everyone in our diocese. Generations of young people have come to ECC
over the years to find a place that often becomes a second home to them. One of
the ongoing themes at ECC is that we hope newcomers will "Come to Our Place,
and Make it Yours!"

ECC is located in the northwest corner
of RI on 180 wooded acres filled with hiking trails. We are fortunate to border
beautiful Echo Lake which provides us with a lovely beach as well as swimming
and canoeing opportunities. Campers are happy to spend part of each day swimming
and enjoying activities at the ECC waterfront under the supervision of our
certified waterfront staff.
Every day at ECC begins and ends with worship. Creative worship experiences
designed with the help of young people who assist with leading songs, reading
lessons, writing the prayers of the people or dramatizing the Gospel reading
bring us closer to God as we actively express our faith. Clergy from around the
diocese join us throughout the summer to celebrate the Eucharist and teach and
share the Gospel message. At ECC young people are encouraged to explore their
faith, ask the tough questions and grow into the person God created them to be.
The experience of working and playing in community builds responsibility and a
sense of ownership. Time spent working in the woods or sharing responsibility
for the upkeep of the property brings us together. Laughter is a common sound at
ECC as we share the good times at camp.
Whether you are considering attending ECC for the first time or if you are a
returning camper, we encourage you to attend our
Open House on Sunday, May 17th from 3 - 5 pm. There will be open
cabins to explore and snacks available in the ECC dining hall. Counselors will
be on hand to lead tours and answer all of your questions. Open House provides a
great opportunity for a taste of camp life!

Rules for acceptance and participation in the program are the same for everyone
without regard to race, color, sex, disability, spiritual belief or national
origin. |
