This is a blog for two groups of people: those who love the Silver Bay Association — the YMCA’s Northeastern Conference Center on Lake George, New York — and those who have enjoyed the Lutheran Summer Conference at Silver Bay, the third week of July since 1934 (except for 1945, but I’m not here to quibble).
Your thoughts, prose and photos are welcome; send them to Kihm Winship at akihmbo@gmail.com.

Just found your blog. I love it. My uncle Dr. Carl Folkemer was the keynote speaker at the Lutheran Conference in the early 1950′s. My family joined him and we’ve returned every year since. My wife and I were Emps in the early 60′s. She was the interim CEO in 2005 and now chairs the board. I’m heading our capital campaign. Thanks for the blog and for your support of Silver Bay.
Paul, I’m delighted to hear from you. You’re very welcome. We’ll be back the third week in July. Can’t wait! kihm
