Quinipet Fall 2020
May 27, 2020
We are optimistic that retreats scheduled for the Fall of 2020 will be able to take place, with proper social distancing and safety protocols as dictated by the CDC and the NY State Department of Health. This will ultimately be determined as the re-opening of our local region progresses. Long Island's Phase 1 re-opening began May 27, 2020.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate this ever-evolving landscape. Please email our Retreat office with any questions: quinipetretreats@nyac.com.
Stay safe and God bless!

Quinipet Summer 2020
May 15, 2020
Since day one of the COVID-19 shutdown, we have been closely monitoring the impact this crisis would have on our ability to run summer camp. We have analyzed, reflected, and run in-depth scenarios of what our programming could look like this summer while keeping our campers and staff healthy and safe. In each instance the challenges pivot and become more complex, and the risks seem insurmountable. Therefore, it is with heavy hearts that, we have made the decision to cancel all camp programs this summer.
We are incredibly disappointed, as we know you are too. We have been busy preparing for another wonderful summer and will continue to do everything we can to engage with our campers in meaningful ways over the coming months. We've created a special VIDEO for them which we hope you will share. Its purpose is to serve as a source of reassurance and confirmation that this chapter will eventually close - and that we will continue to write our camp story together as a Quinipet family.
Thank you for believing in Quinipet and the power camp provides for your children. If there is anything we can do to support you and your family's wellbeing, please don't hesitate to reach out to the camp office at quinipet@nyac.com. We love hearing from all of you, especially our campers!
with Love, Courage, Humility, Honesty and Faith,
Brooke Bradley
Executive Director

NYAC Camping & Retreat Ministry Board of Directors Shares Inclusivity Statement
In light of the recent 2019 Special Session of General Conference, the NYAC Camping & Retreat Ministry Board of Directors would like to clearly state that we fully accept all persons identifying as LGBTQIA+ into the life, ministry, and activities of our camp, and of our sister campsite, Kingswood.
Whether you are staff, camper, clergy, volunteer, or visitor, we welcome you!
As with the church, we are a work in progress and going forward we are taking steps to make our camps more inclusive settings for all people.
And please know that we are always open to suggestions for improvement.
Thank you for your openness, understanding, and support of our camps.
