Horton Center. We will begin after dinner, and end Sunday shortly

THE MISSION
of the New Hampshire Conference of the United Church of Christ is to
worship, work, and pray with the congregations of our Conference and
with mission partners in our denomination and throughout the world, so
that together we practice the love of Jesus Christ.
OUR VISION
is a world that seeks compassion, justice and peace for all people, a
faith that celebrates the Holy Spirit as the source of joy, growth and
healing, and a church that offers to all a dwelling place with God and
for God.
The Outdoor Ministries
programs,
as part of the New Hampshire Conference of the United Church of Christ,
helps to fulfill the mission of the Conference by offering programs for
youth, adults and families where people can experience the love of God,
through our work, worship, praying and playing with other members of
the United Church of Christ Congregations and those of other
denominations and groups. All outdoor ministry programs are open to all
who wish to experience this joy.
The Outdoor Ministries programs occur at three
locations:
Horton Center
is fully owned and operated by the New Hampshire Conference of the
United Church of Christ. Located outside of Gorham, NH, on 100 acres,
covering the top of 2400 foot tall Pine Mountain lays this site. As a
more rustic site, we offer programs that may include hiking, canoeing,
rock climbing, all intermixed with reminders of God's presence and
activity in our lives.
Geneva Point
is located on 200 acres on Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough. This
site is surrounded on three sides by over one mile of shoreline. As a
less rustic site, at this site we offer an Elementary camp called
Footloose and two sessions of our popular Big Feet/ Little Feet for
parents and their children (or grandchildren).
Star Island
is one of the rocky, wind-swept Isles of Shoals, located off the coast
of Rye, New Hampshire. Two weeks of family camps are offered by the
UCC on Star Island. Registration for these events can be made directly
through www.starisland.org
See end of Summer Schedule page for more information
on 2009 camps at Star Island.
