- This week, the Montreat Conference Center, a PCUSA conference center near Asheville, NC, is hosting the 2009 Montreat Women's Connection. There will be a college conference in January 2010 and a youth ski weekend in February 2010. The Youth Conference and the famous Worship and Music Conference were already held back in June. Read more about Montreat here.

- Stony Point Center, the conference center of the Synod of the Northeast, is primarily a retreat for missionaries while in the US. It hosts the occasional conference. Recently it has affiliated itself with Way Points as a destination for spiritual travelers. Way Points is currently offering a program called Biblical Feasting, which deals with the foods of the Bible. The next session is in October 2009.
- Through its mission giving, FPC sponsors Camp Johnsonburg, a resource of NJ's seven presbyteries. Check out the camp's interactive calendar of upcoming retreats. Check out building availability for your own church retreats. And consider taking a group to the camp and working on one of the many volunteer projects they need help with.
