Camp Firebird (formerly Camp Phoenix) is the official summer camp of The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. We welcome all students between the ages of 8 and 18 to attend — you do not have to be a member of an Episcopal Church to have a great time with us!
The Rev. Erin Pickersgill, Ministry Developer for Children and Youth in the Diocese of Missouri, oversees Camp Firebird. Camp counselors are required to participate in training, agree to background checks, and must participate in our “Safe Church, Safe Communities” program.
The history of youth summer camp in the Diocese of Missouri dates back to 1892 and has been held in a variety of locations throughout Missouri and Southern Illinois since that time. Camp Phoenix began in 2004 and was originally located at a site near DuBois, Illinois. After taking a one-year hiatus in 2023, we are pleased to offer a whole new camp experience with new leadership and a new location.
For more information, please contact the Rev. Erin Pickersgill, epickersgill@diocesemo.org or go to https://diocesemo.org/camp-firebird.
