Best Summercamp Podcasts (2024)

At Shrine Mont, camps close a little differently from other camps out there. We don't just pat the kids on the back and send them home, we hold an entire service dedicated to the session that just occurred as campers mix with families before we send them into the valley of the world. Today on the Camp Cast we talk about why we close camps the way w…

Art Camp is a unique camp that offers campers from ages 8-15 to come together for one week and hone their artistic skills. Often one of the last camps of the summer, Art Camp gives campers a safe place to find their creative voice while providing a chance to participate in classic camp activities. This week we take a look at folks offering artistic…

One of the longest running camps at Shrine Mont is open to campers of all ages. What started as "Family Conference" is now a full-blown Family Camp and it's perfect for just about everyone. It provides parents a chance to enjoy a relaxing camp vacation whether their kids are too young or too old to attend any of Shrine Mont's other camps. But that'…

The Life Of A Program Director 25:34

In the summer of 2016 I shadowed Olivia Bambara, the Explorer's Camp Program Director for a day. I had worked as a Program Director in the past, but half the fun of this podcast is that it was one of the few I've made where I don't have to hear my own voice. So I sought out Olivia who had been working on the Mountain for years and had now grown int…

This summer a fair percentage of our staff hailed from South Africa, specifically The Diocese of Christ The King. Every year, this diocese hosts Camp CTK, and while a group of its staffers had the chance to come work at Shrine Mont this summer, Paris Ball and Ashley Isenhower visited Camp CTK while they were in session to learn about how Camp CTK f…

The Last Prank War: A Cautionary Minisode 9:21

In depictions of camp on the big screen there is often an element of pranking going on, whether it's pranks against the camp director or the rival rich-kid camp across the lake. In this episode of the Camp Cast we learn about why such events no longer happen at Shrine Mont Camps as we chronicle the events of the prank war to literally end all prank…

Hello folks, welcome to Summer 2 of the Shrine Mont Camp Cast! Right off the bat, you'll notice one key difference with the show this summer and that's our release schedule which will now be biweekly. This show is a lot of work for one man to take on, and in the interest of self-preservation we've decided to space out the episodes time around. A fe…

2012 was my first year on Shrine Mont Staff, one that marked a shift in my life. For an entire summer I felt at home, surrounded by a family of which I had no blood relatives. I left a temp job in Chicago where I mindlessly scheduled deliveries and over the course of the summer realized that I didn't need to be in the big city to be happy. That sum…

Prepping for Saint Elizabeth's 25:23

Last year I had the pleasure of attending the Saint Elizabeth's talent show, during which a camper got up to sing a song, it was probably a top 40 radio hit at the time, but I can't remember. What I do remember is a group of counselors freaking out around me. As it turns out, the camper was largely non-verbal, and had said very little in the years …

Throughout this run of the Shrine Mont Camp Cast I've worked diligently to cover my bias for Music And Drama Camp. I was a camper there from 2002-2008, it was the first camp I ever worked on, and has been a second home to me for many summers. MAD Camp is unbelievably near to my heart and largely responsible for who I am today, so for this episode I…

SHYC -Taking Service Off the Mountain. 24:32

9y ago24:32

24:32

At camp we like to instill values in our campers that will follow them off the mountain. Shrine Mont has always had the power to let campers head home feeling like they're a part of larger community and with any luck they'll carry the values of acceptance and love with them in their everyday life. But one camp focuses specifically on taking taking …

The Shrine Mont Camp Cast is no stranger to the topics of God, church, and worship. Shrine Mont Camps are run under The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, so it makes perfect sense that worship should play a big roll in camp. This week, we're diving into how we worship at camp, a process which is largely lead by the campers. To make this episode a real…

The Fourth of July is a notoriously big day for Shrine Mont Camps, it's a day known as The Bishop's Jubilee. Past staffers and campers return to the mountain for a day of good food, a 5K race, bands and a chance to reconnect with a place that many of us have called home. The fourth of the July also plays host to Shrine Mont's largest sporting event…

In the world outside of camp, weather rarely breaks the barriers of small talk, you grab an umbrella and you're fine. However, "Some weather we're having" is the start of a much more important conversation where the vast majority of your day is spent outside. I've witnessed sessions of camp where it's been completely dry, I've spent time at camp wh…
