  • Ring in 2011 at Camp

    We are gearing up for another fabulous five days at Camp New Harmony: December 28, 2010 to January 2, 2011! Mark your calendars, fill out your registration form and join your friends for SFFMC’s winter camper-led retreat.

    For those of you who have never come to camp, New Harmony is a do-it-yourself camp where everyone is welcome to participate in any activity. We play music, sing together, visit, get acquainted, dance, work together, attend workshops, give workshops, do arts and crafts, and generally have a fun and relaxing time.

    Housing will be assigned based on when you registered for camp AND your need. We are working on making camp accessible and comfortable for everyone in the community.
