Camp Trinity

Camp Trinity is a summer program sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina to serve the 74 parishes of the diocese. Camp Trinity is proud to be accredited by the American Camping Association. Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally recognized association focuses on program quality and health and safety issues, and requires camp to regularly submit every facet of its operation to an independent appraisal by camp experts.

Camp Trinity offers young people (grades 3-12) an opportunity to experience camping in an enjoyable and beautiful setting along Bogue Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Campers share in a Christian program that helps them grow spiritually and emotionally and provides them opportunities to develop new interests, skills, and friendships.

The camping program is administered by an experienced staff, with a ratio of one staff person to every four campers. The summer staff consists of trained counselors who are responsible for the care and nurturing of campers in their cabin life and camp activities; program staff who plan and implement the recreational program activities for campers; a certified staff of lifeguards and instructors who oversee the swimming and boating programs; and a nurse who cares for the medical needs of the campers.

In 2007, 640 campers were involved in the summer program. For further information about the program, please call the Camp Registrar at Trinity Center (1-888-874-6287) or by e-mail Camp Registrar.

Camp Facility and Island Setting
Four dormitories, two cabins per dorm, house all eighty campers each session. Each cabin houses ten campers and one counselor. Many different water areas mark Camp Trinity. Campers use the sound for sailing, canoeing, and marshing. They use the pool for swimming lessons, free swim, and water carnival. They use the beach for swimming, sand castle building, games, and beachwalks. Other program facilites include a covered recreation building, an outdoor recreation field, a challenge course, an assembly building, and an open pavilion on the ocean side of the property. Sanders Point is an outdoor chapel overlooking the marsh waters of Bogue Sound. Many worship services are held at the chapel.
