Waycross is the camp and conference center our Diocese partners alongside. Many of our young people attend summer camp there. Many of our adults attended camp there or served as summer counselors.

Parish Retreat

In the fall every year, St. Paul’s holds a Parish Retreat at Waycross. While the 2022 retreat focused on families to rebuild relationships after years of pandemic separation, the 2023 retreat will focus on the entire parish and building intergenerational relationships.

Thank you to the 2022 Waycross Retreat Planning Team: Rick Bernhardt, Callie Carpenter, Matt Droste, Shannon Gardener, Aaron Heilbron and Emily Wilhite

Waycross Grant

Summer Camp is often transformative and life-changing experience for young people. St. Paul’s has a deep interest in facilitating these pivotal moments for these young people in the Christian camp setting of Waycross.

Throughout the program year, students can complete a Grant Participation Record. This record tracks student participation in the worship service, Sunday school, parish events and volunteering. At the end of each semester, students can turn in their record to receive half of the summer camp fee provided by St. Paul’s. The fall and spring grants can be combined to form 100% summer camp fee or only one can be used. Young children can use this grant for family camp and/or the parish retreat.
