What are Weekend Camps?
We’re hosting two Weekend Camps this program year!
One will be November 14-15, 2026 and the other will be April 17-18, 2026.
Weekend Camps last throughout the day on Saturday and the afternoon on Sunday, after services. No sleepover!
The camps will be hosted at the Fellowship, and will have concurrent options:
- Adult Camp: For adults and teens 9th grade and older
- Kids’ Camp: Ages 4-10, or 4K-5th grade
- NEW this year: Leadership Track, for 6th-8th graders as part of Kids’ Camp
The goals of the camp are to:
- Provide a longer, more concentrated amount of time for people to connect with each other, make new friends, have fun, and feel connected to the Fellowship.
- Provide an opportunity for learning, deepening our understanding of ourselves and our values, and exploring what it means to be UU.
- Spend some time all together — all of the “track” options will spend mealtimes and some “centering” time each day together, while also focusing on each participant’s preferred area of learning.

Weekend Camp Details
FALL CAMP: STONE SOUP
November 14-15, 2026
Registration will be close on October 26, 2026
Kids Camp – Our kids (ages 4-10) will focus on the story of Stone Soup and learn some other similar tales from around the world. They will play, sing, create, and of course– cook some soup!
Youth Leadership Track – This year, our middle-school age campers (ages 11-13 or so) have a leadership track that offers fun, age-appropriate activities for them as well as leadership training and practice with the younger campers.
Adults can volunteer as a helper for a portion of Kids Camp or the whole thing! Let our R.E. Assistant Jill know if you’d like to help! jill@fvuuf.org
Adult Participants will have two tracks to choose from for Stone Soup Camp:
- Nourishing Our Souls – Soup for the Stressed-Out Soul! If life, work, caregiving, news cycles, political rhetoric, or other challenges have got you feeling frazzled, overhwhelmed, or down, this track is just for you. We will spend time focusing on self-compassion, community support, and different types of rest. We will learn strategies for humility and letting go, and support one another in our commitment to nourish our souls.
- Stirring the Pot – As people of the “religious left” we are often left wondering how to respond to rising White Christian Nationalism. In this track, we will learn how to “stir the pot” in a good way, by increasing our biblical literacy to understand the tropes used by those who defend hate with religion, and explore what our faith says in response. Through discussions, role-playing, and games we will increase our confidence in responding to harmful rhetoric from the religious right.
SPRING CAMP: RAISING THE ROOF
April 17-18, 2027
