Activities include kayaking, sailing, canoeing, swimming, arts, basketball, archery, sports and games! Campers will enjoy a healthy lunch in the Davis Hall, alongside Residential Campers. Camp DeWolfe is excited to offer this new program as a local ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island.

ERA (Episcopal Response to Aids), the coalition team made up of Episcopalians throughout the metropolitan area, is a Gold Team (one of the top 20 fund-raisers). For many years, Episcopal parishes around the New York City area have been forming their individual teams and walking the 6 mile route to remember loved ones lost to AIDS and to raise money and awareness for HIV and AIDS research and care. But with ERA, the only faith-based coalition team, your parish must contribute only one walker or one penny to be credited both as a participating congregation and as part of the area-wide Episcopal/Anglican team, witnessing in unity to the depth of our church's commitment to struggle against this pandemic. Visit Link:  Episcopal Response To AIDS
