The Southeast
Unitarian Universalist Summer Institute is an
intentional community of approximately 1,000 people who gather for the last week in July to explore their interconnectedness, learn
new ways of seeing the world and each other, delight in the joys of meeting
old friends and making new ones, share outdoor
adventures, and develop new
insights and perspectives. It is a Unitarian Universalist
summer camp, but many of the participants are not members of any congregation or belong to other
denominations/faiths.
For over 50 years, people have been gathering for SUUSI (pronounced "soo-see") - presently held on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA - to explore, learn, share, grow, dance, sing and play. There are dozens of workshops to choose from on every topic from the sublime to the ridiculous, all sorts of nature trips, music, dancing, spirituality, and fun. Age-appropriate programs for infants, children, teens, and young adults make it a full experience for all members of a family.
SUUSI offers the opportunity to share an intergenerational environment of love, personal freedom, ethics, and joy in an intentional, nonjudgmental community.
