About NYM Events

Annual Session

Northern Yearly Meeting holds its Annual Session each year on Memorial Day weekend (Friday-Monday), at the Lions Camp in Rosholt, Wisconsin. Hundreds of Friends come together each Memorial Day Weekend for fellowship, worship, recreation and to conduct the Yearly Meeting’s business.

Spring and Fall Interim Sessions are hosted by one of NYM’s Meetings, and include community-building, learning and continuation of the business of the Yearly Meeting. All are welcome to attend.
