  • Welcome to the EpiscoWisco Youth Fall Lock-In — a weekend experience that many participants describe as “the best weekend ever!”

    Open to students currently in grades 6–12, this Friday evening through Sunday noon event invites youth to grow in faith, build friendships, and experience God’s presence in community — all while having a lot of fun.

    Participants and adult chaperones stay overnight on-site and take part in:

    • Worship and prayer

    • Large and small group activities

    • Games and fellowship

    • Music and creative activities

    • Plenty of snacks and shared meals

    Each year, the Lock-In is hosted at a congregation within the Diocese of Wisconsin.

  • The cost is intentionally kept affordable thanks to generous support from congregations and diocesan ministries.

    • Registration and payment are completed through the online registration system.

    • Check payment options are also available during registration.

    • Scholarships are always available. Cost should never be a barrier to attending.

    Contact the Camp Director for scholarship information.
