If you crave the Silver Bay experience even though the New York Conference annual meeting is elsewhere this year, join us for the Family Weekend at Silver Bay!
From Friday evening July 20 to Sunday noon July 22, we will enjoy the swimming, boating, hiking, and general joy of the place. Walk the labyrinth, take a swim, sit on the point. We'll include star gazing and a campfire and vespers; Sunday morning we'll worship with the Silver Bay community. No agenda, no business, perhaps a crafts session or two and some gathering for prayers.
Bring family members and show them how relaxing it is to sit on the verandah of the Inn and rock!

Registration is free for those under 18, $10 for those 18 and over. Then phone Silver Bay at 518-543-8833 or toll free at 888-758-7229 for the housing-and-meals packages. They range from $113 to $134 per person per night, double ccupancy; less for children and youth. That includes six meals!
