This fall we are hosting the U.S. Servas  National Conference from October 6th-8th at Frost Valley YMCA Camp in Claryville, NY, about 2 ½ hours northwest of NYC. This gorgeous 5,000-acre facility is located on the ancestral homeland of the Munsee Lenape people. Since this weekend precedes Indigenous Peoples Day, we have reached out to the Lenape and hope to have them participate.

This year’s conference will focus on peace … with our planet, our world of nations, our country, our community, our tribe, and most of all—ourselves. We are planning a festive, informative, and rewarding event with presentations, hands-on workshops, break-out sessions of special interest, and music and social events in the evenings. Up to three US Servas members will be recognized for their noteworthy efforts to promote peace. They will be presented with our first-ever, US Servas Peace Awards (see article). 

Make it a Vacation

  • two nights in NYC with Servas hosts
  • two nights at the conference
  • two days in the NY Finger Lakes region 

Visit wineries, hike the incredible Watkins Glenn Gorge, visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown or the Corning Glass Museum. Early October in the Catskills is spectacular with pleasant temperatures and brilliant fall foliage near its peak. Look for more details about the conference in upcoming issues. We look forward to seeing you there.

      I absolutely want to attend. I live about an hour away. I can host two people one in a bedroom one on my sofa in my living room.
      I want to know the cost as well if I stay at Frost Valley.
      Please let me know what I need to do!

    What is the best town to fly into? Will there be a shuttle available to take us to the conference? Is there any spare time available. Will we need to rent a car? Is it best to drive your own car? I have so many questions but it sounds wonderful. Joy

      Hi Joy - Laguardia, Newark, and JFK all work. In may we will put p the conference web pages with information about cost, location, accommodation, presentations and how to get there. We are also looking into chartering a bus from/to NYC if enough people are interested to make it cost effective.

    My home in the NY Thousand Islands Region (City of Watertown, adjacent to Fort Drum) is only a 4-hour drive. Fly into (and out of) Syracuse and I can be your host/guide before the conference (while I have another conference immediately after in Cincinnati, OH). Call/text me at 916-877-5947 if you don't want to find my contact info online.
