Diocese of Western NY

Junior High Conference

 

The Junior High Conference is open to young people entering grades 7-9.  It is supervised by an excellent and experienced staff and is held at the Dunkirk Conference Center, a camp of the United Church of Christ, located in a lovely spot on the shore of Lake Erie.  The goal of the conference is to provide young people with an experience of loving Christian community.  Worship is offered twice daily.  Each morning the camp gathers for the education hour during which the chaplain presents the theme for the week.  Each afternoon there are two activity periods, followed by an hour at the swimming pool.  Evening activities include games, a movie, a dance, a bonfire, and the annual talent show extravaganza.
