    • General Information and rates for the NYYM Summer Sessions is available HERE.
    • Summer Sessions Registration Update:
      • Join the community of New York Yearly Meeting Friends at our yearly week-long gathering, Summer Sessions. In the first few days of registration being open we received roughly 150 registrations for roughly 325 spots. Some housing options at Silver Bay already have more requests than capacity. If you know you would like to attend Summer Sessions in-person, please register ASAP.
    • You can Register by clicking HERE
      • Registration for Summer Sessions will be online only. If you are unable to register online, please ask someone you know to assist you, or call the NYYM office at 212-673-5750 and provide your name, phone number, and a good time to contact you. We will have volunteers ready, willing, and able to provide online registration assistance.
      • New York Yearly Meeting needs to know it will be able to meet its financial obligation to Silver Bay by the end of January 2026. Therefore, payment in full in January, if you are able, is best. Alternatively, a down payment with a payment plan that completes payments by the end of May 2026 would also be acceptable. The pledge payment section of the registration form will ask for a commitment on how much and by when the remainder of the cost will be paid.
