Camping

The following services and networks help our camps, congregations, presbyteries, Conference offices, and all others interested in United Church Camping to keep in touch and share resources!

Camping News Update

This update is sent by e-mail to all camps on an as-needed basis. Updates include requests for updating information, urgent news bulletins, invitations for writers, call for presenters for the Connections Camping Conference, and much more! Each camp has designated a “communications contact” who receives this e-mail, and who is asked to share the e-mail with their camping network/board/staff. For more information, contact Jordan Sullivan.
