About Camp McDowell
Situated on 1,140 acres of fields and forests with miles of trails winding through beautiful sandstone canyons, Camp McDowell is the Camp and Conference Center for the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. Camp McDowell was established in 1923 and has been at its current location in Nauvoo since 1947. Upon the completion of Bethany Village in 2015, we became the largest Episcopal camp and conference center in the United States, with approximately 770 beds. McDowell excels in many areas, including our Summer Camps and Retreats (1947), the Conference Center (1978), McDowell Environmental Center (1994), the Alabama Folk School (2007), and McDowell Farm School (2014). With over 100 staff, both seasonal and full-time, Camp McDowell is not only home to premier programs, but it is also home to a group of around 40 people who live in an intentional community. We have passion, innovation, and inspiration year-round!
