Imagine
...a full week of camp life with programming, prepared meals, and a whole bunch of like-minded folks.
The Midwestern Unitarian Universalist Summer Assembly (MUUSA) is an intergenerational, week- long "camp" for Adults, Young Adults, High School, Middle School, Elementary and Early Childhood campers. MUUSA is a place for spiritual reflection, intellectual growth, and creative play within a caring and supportive community.
Adults enjoy a long list of workshops and excursions. Teens live separately from adults with their own counselors and their own programming based on their year in school. Our youngest children enjoy day long activities and religious education and rejoin their families at the end of each day.
Multigenerational activities include a social hour, open-mic "Coffeehouse," games, and spiritual meetings.
All inclusive registration fees include housing, meals, workshops and other activities. Additional fees may be required for some workshops and excursions.
The Legacy of Midwest UU
Summer Assembly
MUUSA (and before that LGSA) has enjoyed close relationships with small college campuses. LGSA made Aurora College home in Williams Bay on Lake Geneva, while last year we held a "mini-MUUSA" on the campus of Indiana University. Now we are excited to be moving to the campus of Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin.
Ripon is a small, historic town, snugged right up to campus. Home to Knuth Brewing, quaint ice-cream shops, a Clydesdale Horse farm, a 140 acre restored prairie, and a beautifully restored mill and mill pond, Budget Travel Magazine named Ripon "one of the coolest small towns in America." It's also been named a "Tree Campus" by the Arbor Day Foundation.
Ripon is just 1.5 hours northwest of Milwaukee and about 20 minutes from the Lake Winnebago towns of Oshkosh and Fond du Lac.
The campus sits on 250 wooded acres; 10 buildings are on the National Register of Historic places. Athletic facilities include basketball courts, 25 meter pool, a large fitness center, soccer/frisbee field, and an E-sports center. Also on campus are two art museums and creative centers. Ceresco Prairie includes an 18 hole disk golf course and miles of prairie and wooded trails for both walking and biking.
Just a few minutes away is Green Lake, the deepest lake in Wisconsin, which features beaches, boating, fishing and most watersports.
