NYAC Camps are celebrating our annual Camping Sunday on March 3, 2019. So many of you have experienced first hand the remarkable effect that camping has on lives. Making camp available to every child depends on your generosity...Please consider making a donation so that Quinipet and Kingswood continue touching the lives of others the way we hope it touched yours!
“Camp is a beautiful experience that has the power to alter a child's life. I know this to be true as I was a camper for four summers, and they were the most transformative and amazing weeks of my life to date. A quality faith-based camp acts as a catalyst towards childhood success and individual acceptance of themselves and their faith.” --Counselor
Packages will be mailed to all local UMC churches in the coming weeks. The resources found in these packets will also be available to congregations online at https://www.nyaccamps.org/camping-sunday.html. Stop by soon for video resources, flyers, bulletin insert and a special children's sermon.
