Sheldon Calvary Camp is an Episcopal summer camp for children, youth, and adults, and welcomes campers and staff of all denominations and faiths.

It is a ministry dedicated to the lives of campers who come each year for recreation and spiritual growth in an environment filled with the love of Jesus Christ.

It is a place where children both discover and renew their spiritual lives in Christian community and carry that sense of grace away with them.

It is a place where children come to understand and care for one another in their diversity.

It is a place alive with a contagious spirit of joy and love.

Calvary Camp’s core program is a traditional overnight summer camp for kids looking to have fun every day in an environment that teaches community-building and models acceptance of differences.  Campers live in cabins of 8 or 9 children with two counselors, and participate in activities that may include swimming, arts and crafts, tennis, athletics, kayaking, environmental education, archery, team building, and photography.

Approximately 200 campers, aged 8-16, may attend Calvary Camp during a coed session.  Most children come for one week; some come for two or more.  In the final two weeks of the summer, we have two Family Camp sessions for families to enjoy together.

Seasonal staff members, ages 17 and older, serve in the capacity of camp counselors, activity leaders, coordinators, and directors. The overwhelming majority of staff members are former Calvary Campers, who hold a deep appreciation and respect for the camp’s mission. The staff is led by a team of Directors who are professional adults and collectively have a long history with Calvary Camp as campers, parents of campers, summer staff and full-time staff.
