Youth Pilgrimage to Transylvania

In July 2020, Unitarian Universalist teens from the US and Canada will journey to Transylvania (a region in what is now Romania) to participate in a Transylvanian youth camp. For Transylvanian Unitarian teens, this youth camp is their key religious and community experience for the year, like Cons in the US and Canada.

Youth - want to learn about partnership? Want to experience global Unitarian community? Want to experience non-colonial international travel and community building? Want to experience the physical, tangible reality of our 500 year old Unitarian ancestry? Go on this pilgrimage.
