Every year in July, about a dozen members of BRUU go to the Southeast Unitarian Univeralist Summer Insitute<\/a><\/strong> (SUUSI).\u00a0 Other than the UUA General Assembly, SUUSI is one of the largest annual gatherings of Unitarian Universalists in the world.<\/p>\n

About 500 UU’s gather on a university campus to create an intentional, intergenerational community<\/strong> that is both fun and rewarding.\u00a0 \u00a0There’s acoustic music and singing everywhere throughout the week.\u00a0 “Church camp” is as much a music festival as anything else.<\/p>\n

Programming for children, teens, Yound Adults and Medians creates strong connections.\u00a0 Worshops, Nature trips, and worship services all week create opportuniries to make new friends, stimulate the mind, get outdoors, develop new\u00a0 skills, and explore different perspecivs and points of view.<\/p>\n

SUUSI is a vacation week to grow, relax, play and connect.\u00a0 Many experience the workshops, expeditions into the Appalachians, music, and the relaxed conversations with new friends as a welcome time of recharge and re-creation before returning to hectic lives a week later. They discover new interests, new ideas, and new friends in an environment that is safe and family-oriented, but also offers opportunities to stretch and accept new challenges.<\/em><\/p>\n

The next SUUSI is July 19-25, 2026, on the campus of Radford University in Southwestern Virginia.<\/p>\n
