  5. EPIC Camp is back this year from Sept. 5th – 7th (Saturday to Monday).  Though we can’t all be together at a campsite, that doesn’t stop us from spending a weekend together!  We will still have activities dedicated for learning, fun, and bonding.  This year’s theme is Living Out Loud.  The focus will be on how to live out your faith daily and how to share your faith with others.  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any EPIC Committee or Coaches.
