FreeLand Youth Camp is being held Monday, June 27th 8:30 AM thru Friday July 1st, 5:00 PM at First Congregational Church Retreat Center, 1000 South Cooper St.

Our youth camp, named after long time supporter Dennis Freeland, brings together high school students from diverse backgrounds to provide opportunities for leadership, learning and social engagement. We believe that young people are our future and by broadening their horizons we can change our world. FreeLand is a weeklong residential camp, day and evening gatherings introduce delegates to a unique experience. Social networks are established, prejudices examined, and the opportunity to create a land free from bias, bigotry and racism becomes a reality.
