Un ministerio de la Diócesis Episcopal de Virginia
Nuestra misión
Los campamentos Shrine Mont brindarán experiencias enriquecedoras para que los campistas sientan el amor y la creación de Dios.
Objetivo 1: Los campistas y el personal se cuidarán unos a otros en un entorno seguro y enriquecedor.
Meta 2: El personal y los capellanes estarán altamente capacitados para liderar y modelar los valores que nos enseñó Jesucristo, que acogen e incluyen a todos.
Objetivo 3: Los campistas participarán en experiencias divertidas, desafiantes y formativas que contribuyan a su crecimiento y desarrollo.
Objetivo 4: Los campistas y sus familias estarán más conectados, debido a su experiencia en el campamento, con las congregaciones, la Diócesis Episcopal de Virginia y comunidades eclesiales más amplias para una formación continua en la fe y el compañerismo.
