Half Yearly Meeting
A Family Friendly Event
November 26 – 29, 2026
Wekiwa Springs State Park, 1800 Wekiwa Circle, Apopka, Florida
Half Yearly Meeting is a family friendly serendipitous 4 days over Thanksgiving weekend when Friends come together for good food and good company in Wekiwa Springs State Park. We have exclusive use of the Youth Camp, a natural setting with rustic cabins, ADA lodging, dining hall, and conference hall.
There’s lots to do! Enjoy swimming in the springs, canoeing and kayaking, and biking or hiking the nature trails. You may bring your own bikes, canoes, and kayaks, or rent them from the Park’s concession. Volunteers lead workshops, crafts, and games. And on Saturday night, we have a talent show — Friends bring music, skits, poems, and stories to share.
HYM is a great opportunity for youth, families, and all ages to connect, play, and relax; come for an afternoon, an overnight, or the whole weekend!
Registration
Registration will open in October 2026. Registration Fees are Pay-as-Led. Some registrants may be able to pay more to help cover the costs, others less or nothing. We want you to attend!
Youth are welcome to attend HYM with a parent, guardian, or adult sponsor who will be present and is willing to be responsible for them the whole time they are there.
