Thunderhead Camp Register now for the 2018 Summer

Thunderhead Camp Register now for the 2018 Summer Camps at Thunderhead Episcopal Center. Openings are still available for all camps – 5th through 12th grade camps. Located in the Black Hills, about 20 miles south of Lead/Deadwood, The Diocese of Wyoming partners with the Diocese of South Dakota to provide this camp experience for our youth. Mission and Purpose of Thunderhead: “In camping we come closer to nature, and thereby discover the mighty works of God. The camping experiences give young people the opportunity of living in a Christian Community and help them discover for themselves who they are in relationship to God and each other. The activities center around daily worship.” Each day begins and ends with worship, and this rhythm provides the backbone for the rest of the day. Using the Book of Common Prayer, and the style of the Taize Community, the worship incorporates meditative singing in a number of different languages, including Lakota. Each worship service also has a significant time of silence. Through silence, we listen more deeply to God’s voice speaking in and through each of us. Every year, the camp community works toward loving one another while engaging hearts and minds to look for God working in our everyday world. Together, in community, campers explore God’s amazing capability to work both inside and outside the church.
