Introducing Chalice Camp for Summer 2026

We are thrilled to announce a vibrant new initiative at the Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship: Chalice Camp.

As a community, we often ask ourselves how we can better live our values and serve the families in our local area. Chalice Camp is our answer. It is a joyful, values-based summer experience designed specifically for children entering grades 1–5, and we can't wait to see our grounds filled with the energy of young seekers.

What Makes Chalice Camp Different?

Chalice Camp is focused through the Unitarian Universalist lens. Our goal is to create a "beloved community" for a week (or three!), where children don't just play—they grow.

Our curriculum balances high-energy fun with intentional reflection:

• Themed Discussions: Grounded in equity, justice, and compassion.

• Social Justice: Age-appropriate activities that empower kids to make a positive difference.

• Creative Expression: Daily arts, crafts, and music.

• Mindfulness: Reflection circles and breathing exercises to build confidence and self-awareness.

• Nature Play: Utilizing our beautiful Fellowship grounds for outdoor exploration and games.

  
  

A Space Where Every Child Belongs

In keeping with our radical welcome, we have designed Chalice Camp to be a sanctuary for all children. We are proud to highlight that this program is:

• LGBTQ+ Affirming: A safe, celebratory space for all families and gender identities.

• Neurodivergent Friendly: We provide quiet zones, visual schedules, and sensory-friendly spaces to ensure every child feels comfortable.

• Economically Accessible: Through tiered pricing and financial assistance, we ensure that cost is never a barrier to joining our community.

  
  

How You Can Help

As we launch this new initiative, we invite you to help us spread the word! Whether you have grandchildren, neighbors, or friends looking for a summer program that aligns with their progressive values, let them know that there is a place for them here.

"Love is the spirit of this fellowship, and service is its law." By opening our doors to the wider community through Chalice Camp, we are putting those words into direct action.

Registration will open in February.
