UU WEEKEND AT SILVER BAY
October 17-19, 2008
(Friday evening through Sunday afternoon)
Silver Bay is:
- An opportunity to meet other UU members from across the Northeast;
- A chance to participate in fun activities (or no activities at all);
- Open to all UU members, their families and their friends.
What are we talking about when we say Silver Bay?
This year's weekend includes a narrated boat tour of upper Lake George (on Saturday afternoon). We are also expanding our offerings for children of all ages (yes, this weekend is suitable for the entire family). As in previous years, there will be optional workshops, lectures, and a Sunday morning worship service. Other activities include inspirational talks, walks in the woods to check out the autumn foliage, musical entertainment, social events, and the annual talent show. Or, you can just take a nap!
Silver Bay is a 600-acre YMCA retreat and conference center that includes a historic inn, several cottages and a lodge, a theater, a children’s center, an athletic center, boats, playgrounds, tennis courts, a chapel, and the stunning location on Lake George. One can choose among the range of activities offered, or just relax and enjoy the autumn scenery.
The Details.
