Three Adult Camps

When we think of camp, we usually think of the youth that benefit from summer and winter camp programs. Adults can benefit from dedicated time away in the outdoors as well! There are three adult opportunities offered by the Northern California Nevada Conference, United Church of Christ as the end of the summer—all weekend events at Camp Cazadero in Sonoma County.

Young Adult Retreat, August 7-9: For young adults, ages 18-25. Particularly designed for young adults in this transitional time of life, this event will offer chances to connect with other young adults, reflect on life at this crossroads, and relax away from work and school responsibilities. Ad to that the usual fun at camp—swimming, firebowl, etc. and it will be a great weekend! Cost $120. [ read more ]
