Berwick Camp 2024 will be holding its 152nd encampment this summer July 26 to Aug 4. This year we will be welcoming our United Church Moderator, the Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne, as Minister in residence. She will be conducting the service on Sundays at 10 AM, and Monday to Friday evenings at 7 PM. We'd love to welcome members of congregations from all over the Maritimes and beyond to spend some time with us this year. If your church is in the Berwick area, we would live to have the whole congregation celebrate Sunday services under the hemlocks with us. We are hoping that churches from outside the area will pool for transportation for a day visit, and stay for the evening service, or come and experience the whole week. Registration is now open. Website is https://www.berwickcamp.org, including the link for registration and the daily schedule.
