The Family Ministry Team announces the return of Chalice Camp to UUSS this July.  Rev. Roger will be the Camp Director.

This week-long day camp deepens children’s identity as Unitarian Universalists and expands their knowledge of Unitarian Universalism and their capacity to be articulate about their faith and heritage.  It includes outdoor fun, energetic worship and music, UU theater, cooperative games, creative arts, and building community.  With its theme of UU heritage and values, Chalice Camp is a way to experience and learn a year’s worth of Religious Education in one 40-hour week.  Read a feature about this innovative program in the UU World magazine at this link.
