2026 Chalice Camp at Unity Church 

2026 Chalice Camp at Unity Church
Welcome to Unity Church Chalice Camp — a summer camp offered for two weeks in July. We aim to provide fun, community-building and engaging activities that help us grow and deepen our understanding of Unitarian Universalism.
Chalice Camp runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., providing a full day of activities for children and youth ages 5–13. Alongside lots of outdoor fun and games, craft projects, and water days, our daily activities are designed to deepen Unitarian Universalist values through fostering creativity, building community, and engaging in spiritual practices.

Week 1: July 6–10

• Nature, Food, and Land — exploring our relationship with the natural world, where our food comes from, and how we care for the land around us.

​Week 2: July 13–17

• Stories, Myths, and Music — diving into the power of storytelling, the wisdom in myths and traditions, and the way music connects us to stories told across cultures and communities.

​Senior Campers and Counselors

• Children entering 7th or 8th grade are welcome to participate in the senior camper program, offering age-appropriate activities and leadership opportunities.
