Camp is an opportunity to build UU community for youth across central and eastern part of our state. The program includes art, worship, games, field trips and service. The food is great (and includes vegan, allergy free and gluten free options). The price is very reasonable and there are scholarships available. The memories are forever.
Our Summer Camp Program Director is 
Sara
Gush. Sara is currently a seminarian at
Union Theological Seminary in New York, and
formerly the Religious Education Assistant at
The Community Church of Chapel Hill Unitarian
Universalist where she was raised. She has wide
experience teaching as well as leading programs
for UU youth, such as Sunday morning RE and
Coming of Age. Sara is a graduate of Arizona
State University, where she majored in religious
studies and philosophy. She first visited Shelter Neck during high school
and has fond memories of each experience there.
Our Mission
Shelter Neck Youth Camp aims to connect
youth from small, mid-size, and large
Unitarian Universalist congregations across eastern and
central North Carolina in a cohesive, energetic and
thriving community.
Our Community Values
Our community is based on UU visions and values including: creating a just & loving community, doing good in the world, accepting each other and learning together, continuous revelation, democratic decision making, practicing spirituality and ultimate optimism.Summer Programming
We offer one-week camp
sessions for youth aged 10 to 17 at our rustic campus in
Burgaw, North Carolina. Based on Unitarian Universalist
values we are a caring community dedicated to enriching
the lives of our youth and inspiring them to become
lifelong Unitarian Universalists engaged in sustaining
and transforming our world. 
Shelter Neck Summer Youth Camps are made possible by the generous support of the Universalist Convention of North Carolina, Inc. (UCONCI). UCONCI was first organized in 1895 to promote the coordinated growth of Universalism and now Unitarian Universalism in North Carolina. UCONCI has owned and maintained Shelter Neck's forty acres since 1932.
Our Summer Camp programs are funded in part by a grant from the Fund for Unitarian Universalism. We thank them for their generosity.
