About

Youth Camp at Cathedral Ridge is a place where kids and teens break free from routine and dive into a week filled with adventure, faith, and community. Campers race to the ropes course, explore trails, kayak and white water raft, and laugh nonstop during games, talent shows, and campfire nights under star-filled skies. We honor each camper as made in God’s image—welcoming and encouraging creativity, and celebrating the diversity of God’s people. Through youth-led Episcopal worship, unplugged time in nature, delicious meals shared communally, and abundant opportunities to try new things, campers discover more about themselves, others, and the world around them. With a community built on acceptance, joy, and God’s unconditional love, every camper belongs here—and leaves with new friendships, deeper confidence, and the kind of memories that last long after summer ends.
