SUMMARY:Racial Justice for Authorized Ministers & Lay Leaders -- Foundations
DESCRIPTION:May 16th\, 2026: Racial Justice for Authorized Ministers & Lay Leaders – Foundations \n\n\n\nThis 8-hour workshop is designed for both lay leaders and for Authorized Ministers who have not had racial justice training within the past 3 years and is recommended to Associations that require racial justice training. \nContent includes: \n\nA broad\, but not comprehensive\, introduction to race as a concept\, racism and its various forms\, and various forms of working toward racial justice. Particular attention is paid to Christian foundations for racism and the history of slavery and colonization in New England.\nParticipants will give attention to understanding themselves racially and unpack the stories their ministry settings tell in terms of race. This workshop utilizes caucus spaces for white people and people of color to discuss and explore their unique experiences of racialization.\nReflection on the power churches and other ministry settings have\, and which Authorized Ministers wield as individuals\, and how this power can be utilized for racial justice.\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nUnderstand and articulate four realms of racism\nRecognize the role of Christianity as a foundation and expression of racism\nGain insight into oneself as a racialized person and the racialization of your ministry setting\nIdentify forms of power available within your ministry setting and possibilities for action for racial justice\nLearning takes place both as an individual and as a leader within your setting\n\nIncludes a 1 hour lunch break and a few shorter breaks throughout. \nThis training includes required pre-work\, both reading and engaging in a response. Earlier offerings of this training included a dense history section in a primarily lecture format. Responding to participant feedback\, we are shifting that material to pre-reading so that we can focus training time on digesting this material and making it relevant to you and your ministry setting. Your attention to the pre-work will affect your and your colleagues’ learning\, so making adequate time for this work is appreciated. You will receive detailed instructions about this assignment about one month prior to the training date.  This email will come from transform@sneucc.org (Center for Transformational Leadership). \nThis is an interactive workshop that requires active participation throughout\, including through self-reflection and writing\, small group discussion\, and large group engagement.  Please be sure you are in a setting that allows for this.  Please note\, attendance and participation in the full session is required to receive a certificate. \nMay 16\, 2026\n8:30 am – 5:30 pm\nThis workshop will be hosted via Zoom. \nRegistration closes on May 11\, 2026 \nThe standard cost of this program is $230 for Authorized Ministers and $115 for Laity. Participants from within the Southern New England Conference UCC pay a discounted rate of $175 for Authorized Ministers and $89 for Laity made possible through Proportional Giving to Our Church’s Wider Mission\, individual donors\, and other gifts to the Southern New England Conference.  The rate for SNEUCC Members in Discernment is $59. \nYou may pay online at the completion of this registration form.

SUMMARY:Culturally Responsive Ministry Training (CRMT) on Race -- May 2026 Session
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to Culturally Responsive Ministry Training (CRMT) on Race\, a six-hour learning experience designed to give pastors a better understanding of the importance of culture as we strive to better communicate a message of God’s love and acceptance for all. The CRMT on Race provides pastors with the tools to be more culturally responsive not just to new people exploring our churches for the first time\, but also to long-standing members who come from various cultural backgrounds. The training concludes by breaking participants into racial affinity groups where white folks learn about the deep impact of microaggressions on our siblings of color\, while people of color have the opportunity to check in about their ministry in a predominantly white denomination\, and the impact of race/racism on it.  \nThis training will be split between two evenings: Monday\, May 18th at 4-7PM MDT\, and Friday\, May 22nd at 4-7PM MDT. Please click here to register via Zeffy. \nPlease note that these sessions will happen via Zoom. You will be emailed a Zoom link plus additional information the week before your session.

SUMMARY:Voyager Faith & Science Camp
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the second year of Voyager Faith & Science Camp! At Voyager Camp\, youth are given the opportunity to be their truest selves and build a community of authenticity and support\, which is often elusive around the preteen years in school.  \nSpirituality and science have for too long been seen as opposite ends of a spectrum\, when really they are more like two lenses through which we can view the mystery and majesty of the universe. Albert Einstein said that the more he studied the universe the more he believed in a higher power. When you really get into the coolest and most cutting edge science\, you can’t help but stand back in awe at the magic of it all! But don’t worry\, all the fun and exploration built through generations of camp will still be there! \nTrained counselors and staff will set the stage and hold space for a memorable week filled with laughter\, music\, reflection\, self-exploration\, and don’t forget the ropes course! Youth will form memories and friendships they’ll hold dear for the rest of their lives. \nTiered Pricing. Camperships available in any needed amount! Please visit this page to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Music\, Art\, Drama\, and Dance (MADD) Camp
DESCRIPTION:Music\, Art\, Drama\, and Dance (MADD) Camp is an amazing week of intentional community and creativity. We believe that the arts and creative expression are incredible tools for experiencing and growing in our spirituality. ALL artistic skill-levels (really!) are present and welcome at MADD Camp. Along with engaging youth in intellectual faith conversations\, we attempt to get youth “out of their heads” and into experiencing God (or the Holy\, Divine\, or transcendent) through creativity\, nature\, friendships\, self-discovery\, games\, activities\, and LOTS of fun. We find these moments to be the most powerful in helping young people to develop a lifelong faith\, and a foundation of belief in themselves. \nLike all of our camps and retreats for youth\, MADD is an expansively welcoming and open environment. Trained staff help guide youth in engaging with their spirituality on their terms. The Refuge camps and retreats create a safe\, brave space where youth can ask questions\, explore their faith\, and connect more deeply to themselves\, each other\, the earth\, and the Holy- whatever that means to them. \nTiered Pricing. Camperships available in any needed amount! Please visit this page to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:RMC Community Camp @ La Foret
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, First Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ has hosted a Community Camp that people return to year after year—a space of connection\, rest\, play\, and belonging. This year\, something special is happening: that beloved tradition is opening its circle a little wider. \nIn partnership with La Foret\, Community Camp is expanding to welcome the broader Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Church of Christ. While the heart of the camp remains exactly the same—led by First Plymouth’s trusted leadership and rooted in decades of meaningful tradition—there is now space for new relationships to form across communities. \nIf you’ve never experienced Community Camp before\, imagine a few days where the pace softens and something deeper has room to emerge. Days are filled with simple joys: shared meals\, time outdoors\, creative activities\, conversations that matter\, and the kind of laughter that comes easily when people feel at home. Whether you come as a family\, with friends\, or on your own\, there is a place for you here. \nThis is not a camp you have to “perform” at. It’s a space to arrive as you are—to rest\, to play\, to reconnect\, to meet others\, and maybe even to rediscover something within yourself. \nAt La Foret\, we often talk about creating spaces where people can imagine and experience the world as it could be. Community Camp has been quietly doing that work for years. This summer\, we’re widening the circle. \nLearn more and register here: https://www.laforet.org/events/family/community-camp
