A Note About Camp Occohannock on the Bay
Dear Parents and Campers:
Camp Occohannock provides an outdoor ministry that is a viable and effective means for fulfilling the ministry and mission of the church. Our Summer Camp Programming will provide living experiences in “a place set apart” to explore God’s story, to experience the values of a Christian community, and to grow in Christian faith.
The summer's curriculum is biblically grounded, informing, experientially based, culturally aware, environmentally responsible, developmentally appropriate and inclusive of all persons. The curriculum is developed by the Committee on Outdoor Ministries of the National Council of Churches. Daily activities and discoveries will focus on different aspects of the camper’s spiritual journey, meeting them wherever they are along their personal journey. Campers will learn that they can find God in the everyday, in simple ways, and in one another.
Campers will continue to enjoy traditional age appropriate camp activities listed in each camp description. We encourage you to think about the summer camp sessions early and make plans for your child(ren). We look forward to seeing you at OOTB, an Eastern Shore tradition for generations of families!

Those wishing to be a CIT will need to register as a CIT Camper (June 17- July 13) and pay the camp fee of $360. This is a one-time payment that will cover food, lodging, and trip cost for three weeks. You will also need to be 15 years of age before the first day of staff training. C.I.Ts will be at staff training and then work 3 weeks with the campers. We also would like for the CITs to pick an adventure camp that they would like to go on to experience off site trips and what those trips have to offer. Below are the camps to choose from. This is free to the CITs.
McAfee’s Knob Adventure (Week 4: July 15-20)
