On The Blog: A Clergy's Reflection on Camp

By the Rev. Ben Nelson, Chaplain, TMI Episcopal


For the better part of two decades, I have been involved at the diocesan camps- Mustang Island family camps, Camp Capers, and Duncan Park adventures. Some years, I’ve been blessed to complete the “camps and conferences triple crown” which allowed me to serve at all three locations. This work has been so full of meaning and purpose that I doubt anyone could ever say much that would convince me that these holy places aren’t some of the most vital avenues for sharing God’s love with the world.


When I was newly ordained, I remember Bishop Folts (who I believe was quoting another Bishop) saying that we get more ministry with young people accomplished at a week of camp than the other 51 in the parish. I still believe this to be true.


For those of you in our various congregations who wonder how to support the diocese in prayer and connection, then look no further than holding the hundreds of servant leaders who make these places so special in your hearts this summer and throughout the year.
