Come experience amazing fall foliage views while making new
friends and deepening connections with fellow UUs.
Registration for this weekend is now open at the Register link above. Register early to
receive the lowest rates! Children under 6 are free, with substantial discounts for older
children and youth. Rooms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis based on
receipt of the completed registration form and accompanying deposit.
Remember – the cost is all-inclusive for room and board, activities, and entertainment –
including all meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch.
The weekend will be filled with activities (indoor and outdoor), workshops, music,
children’s programs, a silent auction and much, much more.
You could start off Saturday morning with a hike which rewards you with stunning
views of Lake George’s clear blue water amid the gorgeous fall colors of the
Adirondacks.
Saturday and Sunday children’s programming may include making a fairy house,
a scavenger hunt, capture the flag, frisbee disc golf, Star Island Bead making,
arts and crafts, pumpkin fun and much more.
Our Keynote Speaker will be Rev. Kathryn Beilke. The title of her presentation
will be “Plastic Pollution: A Global Crisis with Local Solutions”. While the depth
and breadth of the plastic pollution crisis can be overwhelming, we can still turn
the tide. Rev. Kathryn Beilke will discuss not only the far-reaching implications
that plastic has for our planet and health, but also the variety of solutions that
Beyond Plastics’ advocates across the country are working on and the imperative
to act now. Because not only is plastic a climate change issue, an environmental
justice issue, and a public health issue but it is a moral issue which urgently
demands our attention and action.
For those opting to stay the extra night we are offering a late afternoon 2-hour
cruise on Lake George with music, snacks and a cash bar. This will be a
chartered cruise on The Horicon cruise ship which can hold up to 120 people.
Additional activities include a waterfront (kayaks, canoes, rowboats), 2 gyms, climbing
wall, dance/aerobics studio, fitness center, coffeehouse/open mic, silent auction (bring
an item that you would like to re-gift).
