Neringa is a Lithuanian cultural camp founded by the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception in 1969. For over 40 years Neringa has served thousands of children and families in various camp sessions with the mission to foster understanding and love for Lithuanian heritage, teach Christian values in the Roman Catholic tradition, and provide for positive character development.

In addition to camps, Neringa offers occasional alumni events. Other organizations should feel free to contact our administration regarding the use of facilities at Neringa.

No Bridge at Neringa

Information about Neringa's flood can be found here. We thank all who have contributed to rebuilding efforts, especially the Lithuanian Foundation, Rochester Lithuanian Fund, and The Oak Tree Philanthropic Foundation. Damage repair costs are currently estimated at $75,000. Much more help is needed. Please see directions on the flood page if you are able to contribute financial assistance.


Support Neringa By Purchasing Water Bottles!
We are pleased to announce the opportunity to purchase water bottles online, and the profit will benefit Camp Neringa. One bottle design features Neringa's name, and the other is a Vytis with "Lietuva" ("Lithuania") printed on it, which could appeal to a broader audience, so feel free to pass along this link: http://www.hope-2o.org/neringa.aspx Thanks for your support.
