2023 Bishop's Convocation Schedule
We've planned Bishop's Convocation 2023 to ensure that all in attendance have time to get away for much-needed rest and relaxation. The schedule below is provided to plan out your time with us at The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark. But please feel free to do or not do at this gathering.
This is your time, use the agenda as a map to relax, renew and reconnect with NYAC family.
In addition, please note that if you plan to indulge in any of the on-site amenities (like the spa) be sure to call the
resort directly make a reservation, as we've been advised that spaces can fill-up quickly.
