Hi Michelle,
We'd love to see you at camp! I recall that last time, there was interest from New Zealand! Perhaps this year because of the location, it will be easier for people to travel to reach our campsite. This is only our second camp, and knowing what it takes to pull it together from across the United States (I'm in California and the camp is in New York...), I can't imagine trying to set this up in another country! But who knows?? Maybe one day!

Costs associated with camp are not available at this time. We anticipate publishing this information soon. UBPN does not set out to make money on the camp; it does attempt to cover expenses by charging a small administrative fee in addition to the fee the camp charges us for food and lodging. We also do everything we can to fundraise and to obtain underwriting to offset costs. Anyone who is interested in making a donation toward camp may contact Nancy Birk at the UBPN office: 330-673-0214, or if you reside within the US: 866-877-7004. Also, as with last year, we plan to provide applications for camp sponsorships, which will provide limited financial assistance for those who qualify. At this time, we do not know how many sponsorships we will be able to award. More on all of this later. Stay tuned for more information... Hope to see you and your friend in NY! It's going to be a blast!

Michelle,
Forgot to add...It's taking place from Friday, August 29 through Monday, September 1, 2003. Go to the UBPN Home Page for the Camp Announcement. There you will find more information on the camp. Cathy
