The EDI scholarship program was established in 2019 to support and mentor professionals from historically underrepresented demographics in Christian camping and retreat ministry. The program aims to provide these leaders with the opportunity to reach their professional goals, while advancing the cause of Episcopal camping and retreat ministry and fostering deep and authentic representation and inclusion.
We acknowledge that showing up to spaces occupied by those from primarily more dominant groups is a challenge, and can be vulnerable for marginalized or otherwise under-represented populations. Scholarship recipients will not be asked to serve as “ambassador” for any population, or an educator of others. Scholarship recipients are encouraged to focus on getting the most out of their event experience and have no special duties or obligations. All first-time attendees will have the option to be paired with a repeat attendee.
If you have any questions about the EDI scholarship program or process, please contact Ali Pepper, Interim Director of Communications:
