Looking for a summer experience that’s more than just fun in the sun? Camp McDowell is now registering for its 2025 season!
Nestled along the beautiful Clear Creek in Winston County, Alabama, this camp has become a home away from home for generations of young people who leave with lifelong memories, friendships, and a deeper sense of connection.
Each session is thoughtfully designed around a creative theme, blending skits, songs, art, and a little humor with big ideas like discipleship and caring for the planet. These programs, led by Episcopal clergy and experienced staff, engage campers in meaningful and fun ways, encouraging growth in faith, creativity, and understanding.
Summer days at Camp McDowell are filled with adventure. Campers can paddle on Sloan Lake, hike scenic trails, tackle the ropes course, dive into arts and crafts, and so much more.
But Camp McDowell isn’t just about the activities—it’s about the people. From the enthusiastic staff to the friendships that form, every part of the experience is grounded in a spirit of respect and faith. It’s a place where campers feel like they belong, just as they are.
