Lutheran Summer Gathering
July 18-24, 2026
At Silver Bay YMCA, Lake George, NY
A Faith-Filled Week for All Ages
There’s something special about a summer vacation spent with family and friends–a chance to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters most while surrounded by a welcoming, faith-filled community.
Every summer for the last 95 years, the Lutheran Summer Gathering offers a faith-filled week of worship, learning, and recreation for all ages at Silver Bay YMCA in the Adirondacks. This year’s theme is “Hope in our Time”, where we’ll explore how to cultivate hope in an age of anxiety. All friends and loved ones are invited to participate, regardless of their faith background!
