Camps and Conferences - Near and Far

Mid-summer reminds me of camps and conferences and all the fun I've had at them. Four facilities of the PCUSA come to mind.
  1. 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.
  2. You may also want to check out the 2010 Bible Conference at the PCUSA-affliated Massanetta Springs Camp and Conference Center near Harrisonburg, VA.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
