The largest event of its kind in the Episcopal Church, Kanuga’s Christian Formation Conference is four days of learning, fellowship, refreshment and renewal with some of the Church’s top educators.
WHAT YOU’LL GAIN:
- Practical, take-home resources for leading faith formation programs for all ages

- More than 30 workshops on a wide variety of topics
- Networking, support and encouragement from some of the Church’s best Christian educators
- Time to nourish your own spiritual development with respite, renewal and play
As with all Kanuga summer conferences, you can make this week a mountain vacation for the whole family. While parents attend sessions, young people participate in their own programs directed by our carefully selected staff in a safe and fun Christian environment. Programs for young people will begin at 3 p.m. Monday, June 10.
Spouses can fish, hike, play tennis or nearby golf, relax on the porch or by the lake and visit area attractions. The whole family can spend time together in the afternoons and evenings.
