Fall Retreat: Ever-Evolving Call

aUCC

Join fellow UCC clergy in Berwick in September for a time of renewal and community-building.

Berwick Camp

Following on the success of our previous Fall Retreat, we are gathering again in Berwick from September 25-27. We&#x27;ll gather to build community, to tell stories, and to learn. We&#x27;ll sing, eat, renew and enjoy change of the seasons together in the beautiful and storied place of Berwick Camp. Check In and Check Out:You are welcome to arrive at the camp anytime after 3:00PM on the 25th. Our first meal will be at 5:30PM. Our event will end by 2:00PM on the 27th to allow for travel time. We strongly encourage you to come for the full event. The Venue:We are meeting at the United Church Camp Meeting Association Grounds - also known as Berwick Camp, in Berwick NS. The address is 115 Commercial Street, which is the main street in town. The grounds are 26 acres large, filled with majestic hemlocks, a labyrinth and plenty of places to walk. Our accommodations will be in small rustic cottages (very basic but with running water) There is a kitchen with an attached dining hall where we will hold most of our programming. Berwick is also a “dry” camp so please do not bring alcohol on to the grounds. Smoking is also only permitted near the gates of the grounds.The main gates of the grounds will be open and you will see parking if you go towards the right. Registration will happen in the dining hall (large red building as you come in the main gates) Please come to the Dining Hall when you arrive so that you can register and be directed to your cottage.The cottages all have beds, but you will need to bring a warm sleeping bag, pillow, towels etc. It can get very cold at night at the end of September, so please come prepared. None of the buildings are heated so, depending on the weather, you might want to dress in layers.Berwick Camp has a fair amount of uneven ground which can make navigation challenging. There&#x27;s a section in the registration should you require accommodations around getting around. The Program:A big part of our gathering is the informal community-building that takes place. In addition Ross Bartlett is going to reflect on some research he has been conducting. Ross has been researching the changes that the rapid growth of part-time &amp; bi-vocational are bringing to the United Church and the ways in which clergy answer the call to ministry. Cost:The cost for aUCC members is $150.00, and $200.00 for non aUCC members. If you have not renewed your registration, please do so before selecting the &quot;member&quot; option. The best and most efficient way to manage the event is through Eventbrite, so please register through that platform. A fee of around $10 will apply on top of your ticket price.
