|
Intermountain Yearly Meeting (IMYM) maintains connections with Quaker organizations whose work reflects our shared concerns and values. These connections may be through financial contributions, appointing representatives or delegates who participate in the life and work of the organization, or attending events.
These relationships connect IMYM Friends with Quaker work and witness beyond our yearly meeting.
Mountain Friends CampMountain Friends Camp grew from the life of Intermountain Yearly Meeting. Founded in 2009 by an intergenerational group of Friends in the IMYM region, with roots among IMYM's Senior Young Friends, the camp has become an enduring place for young people to experience Quaker community in the mountains of northern New Mexico. Its programs center community, nature, creativity, and the Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, equality, and stewardship. IMYM continues its close relationship with the independently operated camp through financial support and the participation of Friends throughout our yearly meeting. |
