Directions to the Conference Center

The Episcopal Conference Center belongs to everyone in our diocese! ECC is located in the northwest corner of RI on 186 wooded acres filled with hiking trails and we border beautiful Echo Lake which provides us with a lovely beach for swimming, canoeing opportunities and ice skating in the winter! All summer "beach" activities are supervised by certified lifeguards!

Every day at ECC begins and ends with worship. Creative worship experiences designed with the help of young people who assist with leading songs, reading lessons, writing the prayers of the people or dramatizing the Gospel reading bring us closer to God as we actively express our faith. Clergy from around the diocese join us throughout the summer to celebrate the Eucharist and teach and share the Gospel message. Young people are encouraged to explore their faith, ask the tough questions and grow in the person God created them to be!

Summer Camp Program
ECC offers eight week-long summer camping sessions for children and young people in grades 2-12. Each camp session has a flavor all it's own.

We offer a traditional outdoor camping experience including outdoor campfires, swimming, singing, cookouts and sleeping in cabins!
