Special Events

The children and youth of St. James are meant to be SEEN and HEARD! The unique spiritual needs of each age group are our priority.
​We hope you'll find a time and space that meets your family right where you are.
Family Camp

Our annual retreat to Camp Stevens in Julian has been a time for families to decompress from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with each other and the Holy Spirit.  We look forward to resuming this important event in 2022. Contact Director of Children's Ministries Gabby Strickler for more details.
​This year's Family Camp will take place May 20-22. Read more HERE.
See photos of camp 2019 HERE.


VBS

Each year St. James hosts children ages 4-11 for a week-long, spirit-filled summer camp. This year's theme is “With the Armor of God” and you can get the details HERE!

Children's Communion Class

To be scheduled when it is safe to open.


When the class is scheduled Mother Rebecca will help children understanding the meaning of Holy Communion and how we receive it in the Episcopal Church. This class serves for children preparing for first Communion as well as those who already receive Communion but would like to learn more.
Please RSVP through the church office or email rebecca@sjbts.org.
Graduates of the class will be recognized and receive a small gift at a church service.
Bonfire

Hosted by Youth Minister, Katelyn Webster, the bonfire at the Bay is for members of the parish to share food, fellowship and fun. All are welcome  - from the young to the young-at-heart! We will inform all when a bonfire is scheduled. Contact Leighton Jones for more details.
