Shameless: Exploring Faith and Sexuality


  • Camp Whitman 150 Whitman Road Penn Yan, NY 14527 United States (map)

Our concepts of our souls, our bodies, and our God are all wrapped up in this complicated package that we call “sexuality.” This weekend retreat for young adults will use Nadia Bolz-Weber’s book Shameless: A Case For Not Feeling Bad About Feeling Good (About Sex) as our core text and launchpad. We will work together to unpack some of the complicated and conflicting messages of the institutional church on matters of sex and sexuality. We will attempt to create an alternative, theologically and socially progressive narrative to the “purity and modesty culture” that has dominated the Christian conversation around sex.

This retreat, as with all of Camp Whitman’s programming, is open to all, regardless of sexual or gender identity. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment space for those who identify as queer, gender-fluid, gender-non-binary, and/or gender-non-conforming.

For young adults ages 18-29.
