During the summer months, Lynchburg College uses part of its facilities to accommodate various groups and organizations for conferences. Our primary objectives are to introduce potential students to the campus, provide a community service, and serve the educational needs of the College. Conference participants are housed in residence halls, dine in our dining room, have meetings and workshops in classroom spaces, and utilize athletic facilities for recreation. Although the College does not sponsor or endorse the beliefs and activities of each group that visits our campus, we do attempt to host groups that are consistent with the goals and mission of Lynchburg College. For your information, the following is a schedule of groups that will be on campus this summer.
