This year’s May Memorial UU and UU congregation in Kingston, Ontario, Canada Unirondack weekend will be from Friday, Sept 20, 4 pm through Sunday Sept 22, 2 pm.   Other congregations from Central New York are invited to participate as well.

Unirondack is a UU Camp and Conference Center, about a 2.5 hour drive from Syracuse in the western Adirondacks, near Lowville, NY.  To see the Unirondack facilities/environment, the website is: www.unirondack.org

Since 2008, this intergenerational Unirondack weekend has been a source of early fall community building for our UU congregations.  This weekend is often an introduction to the camp for youth and families who later go on to be campers and staff at the weeklong youth or family camps. Usually, we have room for guests of MM folks, so check in if you want to ask a friend to accompany you to the weekend.

There are cabins and heated sleeping spaces with indoor bathroom facilities. People need to bring their own bedding, towels, and pillows as well as their personal items. People hike, bike, read, play games, go boating, swim, talk, nap, arts, crafts, sport games or just sit by the lake soaking in the beauty. Group activities are encouraged and are led by the weekend participants. Please leave your pets and electronic games at home.

The 2024 cost is expected to be: $110/PP for those over 12 years old; Children 4-12 years $100; Children 3 and under are free. Some financial assistance is available to help pay the costs for MM families.

This cost is inclusive of 2 nights (F, S) lodging and use of the Unirondack facilities, Friday night welcome light meal, 3 meals Saturday and Sunday breakfast & lunch. Meals are prepared/cleaned-up by participants and are shared in a dining hall.  Special dietary needs are carefully managed in food planning and prep; refrigeration is available for individual needs.  Snacks and transportation are not included in this rate. Carpooling has been arranged by individuals in the past.

A 50% deposit is required to hold your space; the balance needs to be paid 2 weeks in advance of the weekend (Sept 6) Full initial payment is totally appreciated!  If you need to cancel, usually you will receive a full refund. Reservations can be made by sending your names/ ages of children to Stephanie Cross at mscross1234@gmail.com.  Deposit checks should be made to “Stephanie Cross”, given to her at MMUUS or mailed to 3844 Pompey Center Road, Manlius, NY 13104.   Venmo payments can be sent to: Stephanie-Cross-75
