Hello Everyone,
My name is Bill Slocumb, and I am the Associate Director for Episcopal Camps and Conference Centers (aka ECCC, aka E-triple-C)
Last summer I did a 10 week summer trip visiting 23 camps/centers of the Episcopal Tradtion, mostly in the Mid-West and New England. This summer I am On the Road Again, as the song goes. Visiting 28 camps/centers in the South, South East, and Mid-Atlantic. Here is the planned out journey.
What is the Episcopal Church you might ask…
The Episcopal Church is a Christian denomination that branched off of the Church of England, that branched of the Roman Catholic Church. A great resource to learn What is the Episcopal Church About? is The Episcopal Church website (click on the phrase for more info)
What is the Episcopal Camps and Conference Centers you also might ask…
ECCC, Inc. is an Association of 103 Camps, Retreat Centers and Conference Centers in 84 Episcopal Dioceses in 47 states. We also have a few international camps/centers in the Episcopal Church’s Province IX. ECCC is a resource/help desk for all camps/centers and host and Annual Conference for Continuing Education and Networking with other centers. Read more about on the website www.episcopalccc.org
And Finally you may ask, What is this “Episcopal Traveler Blog” about…
It is the comical yet informative story of Bill Slocumb’s trip across America and what he is finding in the Episcopal Camp/Retreat Ministry. Stay Tuned for my first visit….
