SS Peter and John Co-Sponsoring Workcamp The Episcopal Church of SS. Peter and John in Auburn NY is again co-sponsoring a workcamp in conjunction with Group Workcamps Foundations as we did in 2006. This will commemorate the 10th year of our participation with workcamp and a wonderful way to celebrate by inviting you to our community once more to help our home town and allow us serve as your hosts. Registration If you have not yet registered, please go to Group Workcamps and do so. Finger Lakes Has Much To Offer If you have already registered with Group, we have put up a few links to prepare you for your visit. The Finger Lakes has much to offer for your Wednesday afternoon off, there are 10 lakes within an hour’s drive for swimming, boating, or just taking pictures. There are waterfalls, hiking trails, shopping malls and outlets, museums, and national parks nearby. Many historic places of interest are nearby … Auburn was the birthplace and home of Harriet Tubman, who operated the underground railroad and freed many slaves. William Seward, Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of State (who was also attacked on the night of Lincoln’s assassination), was the Governor of NY, and purchased the State of Alaska, lived in Auburn and his home is open for viewing. Our own church, SS Peter and John, is the oldest (205 years) and most historic church in the city of Auburn. Nearby, Moravia is the home of Vice President Millard Fillmore. Seneca Falls is the site of the National Women’s Hall of Fame, the museum that celebrates women’s rights, the right to vote, and the home where Susan B. Anthony lived. Link Google Maps There is a link to Google Maps for directions to the school where you will be staying. (If you were here in 2006, please note we will be at a different school – larger and on the other side of town – right near WalMart and the shopping centers!) There are also links to our Facebook Group (Please join!) and to the City of Auburn and Finger Lakes Tourism. Looking Forward To Seeing You We look forward to seeing you in July! We will be seeing some familiar faces, but also look forward to meeting new friends too. Welcome to Auburn!
