About Silver Bay

Silver Bay YMCA Conference and Family Retreat Center sits near the northern end of Lake George on a 600-acre Adirondack campus. The historic property offers comfortable lodging at a range of price points and includes year-round conference and retreat facilities.

UU Weekend at Silver Bay is our favorite weekend of the year! It is a chance to get together with kindred spirits, to spend time with old friends and to make new ones. It allows us to be immersed in the splendor of autumn on Lake George, away from the hustle and bustle of the commercial areas. We can be as active or as laid back as we choose. We always come away feeling inspired and re-energized. Every year as we drive home, we start looking forward to the next UU Weekend!!!
