Silver Lake is thrilled to share that this summer there will be a week of
day camp for those entering grades 1-3. Each day from June 27-July 1, come gather for amazing adventures including swimming in the lake, exploring nature, playing games, doing arts and crafts, ceramics, gardening and so much more!
Silver Lake is not just for youth! Once again,
Clergy Camp, a half-week retreat for authorized ministers, will be integrated into our Week 1 program. And there are many ways for adults to be engaged in this ministry, from
half-week family camps to
volunteer opportunities to
working on the summer staff to
weekend retreats. Jump into a life-changing experience — outdoor, faith-forming, confidence-building, friend-making, brain-building, and transformational.
Silver Lake staff, counselors, and deans are ready to introduce you to camp at
Open House on Sunday, May 15, from 1-5 p.m. A visit to Silver Lake before camp is the best way for a first-time camper to know what to expect — you might even run into a new friend who will be in the same conference this summer! This free event is open to the public. Registration requested by May 10.
Silver Lake is once again welcoming groups of all shapes and sizes on retreat during the year. Whether you want to plan a one-day event or book a building for an entire weekend, Silver Lake is ready to serve you. We are also continuing our popular
Family Retreat program for families who want the opportunity to get away and reflect on their faith together. Contact us at
retreats@silverlakect.org for information on rates and availability.
We want to hear from you
Please complete this
brief (2 question) survey to let us know what you would like campers from your community to bring home from Silver Lake. (Answers could include independence, personal responsibility, spiritual wellbeing, community connection, etc.)
