Besides the many regular activities and opportunities for growth on campus, our membership in the nationwide InterVarsity family makes possible special gatherings with students from other campuses. Several times a year, we join students from local chapters for dynamic times of worship, training, and fun.

Expedition
Expedition is a conference that we will be having with other InterVarsity chapters from all over upstate NY on October 26-28, at Long Point Camp in the Finger Lakes. The retreat is a great opportunity for people to get away from school, and whatever else might be dragging you down, to spend a weekend with our community and others exploring God. Expedition will also be a great time for fellowship as you will have opportunities to hang out, share life, and pray with others in our chapter as well as students from other chapters across upstate New York. If its your first time coming to Expedition, there is a track called “Gearing Up,” which is great for preparing you for your spiritual journey in college. The cost for the conference is $95, but talk to Mark or Nicole if you need a scholarship. Interpreting services will be available as needed. To register, please visit our regional site.

Basileia
Basileia is Kingdom Training. Basileia is Greek for “kingdom”-the kingdom of God! We’ve named our summer training Basileia because we want to deepen our knowledge of Jesus Christ as King and improve our capacity to be His ambassadors. Basileia is a week-long multi-track conference designed so that your whole campus fellowship can attend and benefit. Some tracks emphasize leadership training, others discipleship. But for all, Basileia is a time for worshipping God, studying the Bible, broadening your vision, and deepening your faith. It’s also a great chance to make friends with fellow Christians from one of the 70 other InterVarsity fellowships in NY/NJ! For details and registration information, visit our regional site.

Urbana
Every few years InterVarsity puts on a massive convention in Urbana, Illinois. This conference, which draws over 18,000 students from around the world, is designed to challenge college students and recent graduates to active participation in world evangelization. For details and registration information, visit the Urbana website.

LaFe

LaFe, which stands for Latino Fellowship, is a conference that is held every three years to help Latino Christians learn to embrace their culture, engage the world, be empowered and arise to do all that God has purposed them to do.
