Acamps 2026: A 4-Day Adventure of Faith, Friendship & Community

Hearts on Fire. Nothing’s Off Limits.

What if your summer could be more than just another weekend away?

Acamps 2026 is a four-day Catholic festival and glamping experience for young adults, bringing together participants from Boston, New York, Orlando, Toronto, and beyond for an unforgettable weekend of adventure, authentic friendships, worship, and a deeper encounter with Christ.

From August 20–23, we’ll gather at Camp Schodack in Nassau, New York, surrounded by nature and an incredible range of outdoor activities. Your registration includes lodging, meals, sports tournaments, games, music, prayer, Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, inspiring talks, and plenty of time to build meaningful friendships with other young adults seeking to grow in faith.

Whether you’re new to Boston, searching for Christian community, or simply longing to reconnect with God, Acamps is a place where you can step away from your routine, discover authentic relationships, and experience the joy of following Christ alongside hundreds of other young adults.

Transportation from the Boston area will be organized through carpools, making it easy to travel together and begin building community before the event even starts.

Dates: August 20–23, 2026
Location: Camp Schodack, Nassau, NY
Cost: $300 (includes lodging, meals, and all programmed activities; transportation not included)

Come with friends—or come on your own. Either way, you’ll leave as part of a community.

Vulnerability & Cruciformity: A Resurrection Retreat

We live in a hurried, polarized, and fearful time. Our natural instinct is to react with hardness, protection, and isolation. Yet, both modern psychology and sound Christian theology beckon us to do the opposite: live life with arms wide open. As Brené Brown would say, “Live vulnerably.” Let your life be cruciform: taking the very shape of Jesus’ own life and even his cross and resurrection.

Join Dr. Elizabeth Woodard, Ph.D., Catholic theologian and spiritual director, for a post-Easter Day Apart retreat that will focus on how to live with open hearts during a time such as this. We will investigate vulnerability as it is presented in the work of psychological researcher Dr. Brene Brown, and we will investigate cruciformity as it is presented in the Christian theological tradition. These two, very different scholastic approaches seem to call us to quite similar ends.

Discover the joy of the Easter season at Rolling Ridge.

Revelation in Ecumenical Perspectives

As a part of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture series, Rodney L. Petersen, (PhD, Princeton) along with Gerald L. Bray (PhD, La Sorbonne) have co-edited and published the volume on the highly enigmatic and consequential Book of Revelation under InterVarsity Press. Sixteenth-century Reformers, much like interpreters today, show a diversity of opinion on how Revelation is to be understood, whether through more spiritual and Last Judgment connotations, or as a snapshot in historical context. Much like the vast social and political upheaval in the time of the Reformation, we have called upon Rodney and his colleagues to remark upon Revelation in ecumenical perspectives today. Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries (CMM) and the Boston Theological Interreligious consortium (BTI), two of Rodney’s previous places of directorship, are helping to put this conversation together with friends—at the Boston University Marsh Chapel on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 3-5pm—for an afternoon of retrospection and future revelation. (This will also be, in a way, an opening for AAR/SBL Boston, which begins the next day.) Click here to purchase the book
