Every summer when visiting camps I get to see the whole season from staff training, to opening session, to July 4th week, to last session.
This summer I got to visit 2 of the 18 Episcopal dioceses that rent facilities for the summer for their overnight camps.
First Stop – Camp Webb – Diocese of Milwaukee, where I made it for staff training.
A brief history of Camp Webb. It is the diocesan camping program that started in the 1960′s on their own property. In 2008 the diocese decided to close the property after looking at and processing all the options.
Now the diocese continues the Camp Webb program at a rented camp, and on their third summer!
Not only it is it excellent that the ministry is going on, but it is awesome that they are doing it at a Lutheran camp (Lutherdale), which are denominational partners, aka “Call to Common Mission.” Not a merger, and being in full communion means both churches retain their autonomy and structures but agree to work together for joint mission and witness in the world. 
Here is a picture of both staff’s doing some getting know you games.
