About the provider

The first summer camp in the Diocese was held in June 1924, and the camp was renamed Camp Weed after the late Right Reverend Edwin Garner Weed. In 1978, property near Live Oak was purchased, and the first permanent facilities were built in 1981. A kitchen and dining hall were constructed in 1983, Mandi’s Chapel was dedicated in 1995, the Ravine building and Varn Dining Hall opened in 2004, and the Snell/McCarty Youth Pavilion was dedicated in 2006. The Episcopal Diocese of Florida welcomes all.

Youth do not have to wait until summer to come to Camp Weed. Happening is for 10th-12th graders, with 9th graders invited to spring Happening. New Beginnings is for youth in grades 6-8. It is led by high school youth, supervised by adults.

What families say

“Camp Weed is sand and sandspurs, blue waters and a cool breeze, bricks and wood and screen wire, permeated by devotion and sprinkled liberally with joy.” — -Rev. Alvin S. Bullen
