Summer Camp at Christ Church is a nonsectarian and inclusive 6-week summer day program that accepts children aged 5-10 on a first-come first-served basis. It is a community outreach program of Christ Episcopal Church. Over the years our camp family has extended to the second and even third generation in some Poughkeepsie families as campers return year after year, then their children and their children’s children.

Covid Restrictions: If Covid restrictions apply we will continue to wear masks and clean all services during the day.

The camp will be held on the Christ Episcopal Church campus/ Walley Urban Park. Walking field trips are part of camp life.

This year we expect to accept 48 campers, and to hire 9 full-time staff members over 18 years of age, all of whom will be CPR and First Aid certified. The camp is divided into 3 age groups, each will be staffed by a Senior Counselor and Junior Counselor. Age-appropriate and age- interest activities are planned by each group.

If you have questions, please email or call the church office at 845/452-8220.
