Camp Bratton Green
Camper Information
Join your diocesan friends for Camp Bratton-Green overnight camp at St. Andrew’s North Campus in Ridgeland, MS (370 Old Agency Road, Ridgeland, MS 39157)
Registration is simple - just tap on the session for the grade the camper will finish this school year, complete the form, and pay the required session deposit.
Due to space limitations and COVID restrictions, we will sadly be unable to offer Intro Camp or Special Sessions this summer. We dearly miss those members of our camp family, and look forward to everyone being back together during the summer of 2022!
Camp Bratton-Green will be hosted at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School to accommodate changes taking place at the Gray Center property. St. Andrew’s is only hosting the program, and does not manage the registration or finances of the program. Please do not contact Gray Center or St. Andrew’s School with any questions or concerns.
For any questions, concerns, or issues registering, please contact the Rev. Abram Jones at 769-223-2267, or by emailing campbrattongreen2021@gmail.com .
We look forward to having your child join us for this unique year in Bratton-Green’s history, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Gray Center property in the future.
