About Stillwater Stables

Meet your instructor!

Morgan DiGiosia, Horse Camp Director & Riding Instructor

Hi, my name is Morgan DiGiosia and I am the Horse Camp Director/Riding Instructor at Camp Sankanac. I have had horses since I was 3 years old and have been riding and competing since i was about 5 years old. I have competed in Hunters, Jumpers, X-Country, and Western Gaming such as barrel racing. I worked here during the summer since I was 15 years old and now have my dream job of not only teaching kids and young adults about horses and how to ride, but also sharing the gospel with them. I’m looking forward to this journey and seeing where God leads me at Stillwater Stables located at Camp Sankanac.

Boys' Camp & Girls' Camp

Attention all boys and girls ages 7-16!! These all boy and all girl camps have been running since 1941 and offer a unique camp experience! Come join us for a great week of activities, outdoor adventures, and learning more about God. Camp Sankanac runs four weeks of boys’ camp (June-July) and four weeks of girls’ camp (July-August). From creek stomping to hilarious skits, to cooking over a fire, to paintball and arrow tag, to tubing, to braving our mountain-sized water slide you don’t want to miss the outdoor adventures that await during our four weeks of boys’ or girls’ camp.

Each week of camp is tied to a different theme. The purpose of our weekly theme is to add a fun twist to the regular camp daily schedule. The themes play out primarily in our evening activity and in mealtime skits during the week. The rest of our camp day is largely the same every week. In the morning, campers have Bible and elective classes. In the afternoon, campers have rest time, free time, and activity time with their own cabin. After the evening meal, campers participate in a large group game or activity that is tied to the weekly theme and then they end the day with a chapel service.

There are 2 weeks of training that focuses on spiritual growth, building counseling skills and leadership training as you prepare for the last week, which consists of staying in a cabin and assisting counselors with younger campers and program-related tasks. This program really gives you a taste of what summer camp counseling (and ministry in general) is all about. Whether you are looking at a future in summer camp ministry or any kind of leadership, this program is the perfect way to prepare and looks great on your future college application or resume!
