WHAT IS IT?  Quaker Nexus or QNX is a weekend-long camp for Quakers of all ages and their friends/family hosted by Western Yearly Meeting. It is intergenerational, meaning the housing will be centered around families, couples, or a group of individuals of the same sex. 

Youth who want to attend without family are required to have a participating adult that is responsible for them.  Activities will also have multiple ages in mind from young kids to those who have lived 7 or 8 decades.

“Nexus” describes a point of connection or linkage. The goal is to make deeper connections with one another, with God, and with creation. You can read about the programming features below.
