Join a 2023 Next Step Summer Campference!

Part camp, part conference, our free, residential Summer Campferences foster friendships and community with peers who “get it.” Next Step Campferences are open to ages 16-24 and will be held at the Warren Conference Center & Inn, in Ashland, MA. We hope to see you this summer!

Here is what you will experience at a Next Step Campference:

  • Engage in educational workshops designed with the help from your peers
  • Recharge with new friends
  • Join the music and art mayhem
  • Create fun, life-changing moments
  • Empower yourself with information and resources
  • And SO MUCH more!
