Silver Lake Conference Center is the home of the Outdoor Ministries of the Connecticut Conference of the United Church of Christ. Nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Berkshires of Litchfield County, Silver Lake has been welcoming church groups, youth groups, schools, non-profits and businesses, for almost fifty years during the Fall, Winter and Spring.

We invite you to come, be in community with us for a weekend or more. Experience God's grace among the trees, overlooking the Lake, beside the cascading stream, or abiding in the garden. Remember how to play, laugh, and sip mugs of hot cocoa beside a warm fire with friends and kindred spirits. Sing a blessing with us, as we prepare to serve each other good food, family-style. Join us in the age-old ritual of doing dishes in the dishroom afterwards, amidst more music.

Each summer, Silver Lake continues the proud tradition of being the vibrant church camp for up to 1300 fourth graders through high school-age young people. These week-long "conferences" offer "once-in-a-lifetime experiences, over and over" to several generations of youth, helping to shape future leaders and spirited community-builders everywhere.

Silver Lake has become a sacred place to so many people, young and old. We invite you to come away from the busyness of everyday life and find out what is so special about this ministry of God's love.
