Summer Camp

All Saints Camp on Lake Texoma is the diocesan owned and operated camp of the Episcopal Church in Dallas. This is the third camping season since the camp was acquired, and they have worked very hard to achieve the highest standards of any camp in the area. Since the camp was purchased, the have renovated most of the existing buildings, built 6 new camper cabins capable of housing over 168 campers and counselors for each camp session, and built a new multi-use building with a deck overlooking beautiful Lake Texoma. This year the camp staff have high hopes of filling each of the 8 sessions, including one family session and one intergenerational session. Camp sessions begin June 15 with a week for high school students.

Each camp session during the summer has a Dean, the person who is in charge of the spiritual formation program for each week. Typically, these deans are clergy and youth ministers from churches around the diocese. St. Luke's own Justin Stanton will be co-leading the middles school session from June 22-28 with Nate Bostian and Fr. Greg Pickens.
