Quaker Nexus Camp - Nov 6-8, 2026

Written By WYM
 
 

A weekend-long camp for Quakers of all ages and their friends/family hosted by Western Yearly Meeting (WYM). It is intergenerational, meaning our housing will be centered around families, couples, or a group of individuals of the same gender. 

“Nexus”
— a point of connection or linkage. The goal is to make deeper connections with one another, with God, and with creation.
