This 700-acre National Historic Site with 65 buildings on the shores of majestic Lake George ("The Queen of American Lakes") is an invigorating scenic setting. The uniqueness of Silver Bay lies not only in it spectacular location where mountains and lake come together, but also in its charm, beauty, and undeniable gift for providing inspiration. Silver Bay is jest an hour north of Saratoga Springs.

Celebrate the start of Summer by joining us in a learning-filled, laughter-fueled program that is a re-invention and re-location of our annual Saratoga Springs conference (usually held in April). For us, Silver Bay is one of the most peaceful places on earth... and the perfect spot to celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the founding of The HUMOR Project! So, "get away from it all" and register for this Humor Summit/HUMORetreat where you can advance the quality of your life and work.

In 2009 we sent an email survey to a sampling of the 25,000 people who have subscribed to our free Laughing Matters email newsletter. Your priorities and preferences came back "loud and clear"... and we have incorporated them into this program:

• To come away with useful ideas and skills that will benefit you personally and on-the-job
• To laugh a lot, have a great time, relax, and recharge your batteries personally
• To experience great speakers and new sessions
• To connect with kindred comic spirits from around the world who are interested in the positive power of humor and creativity
• To be able to purchase great resources in an on-site bookstore
• To be able to take advantage of a discounted early-registration fee
• To have a very reasonable, all-inclusive room and board cost
• To earn CEU’s and CME’s

We are VERY excited about the credible and incredible line-up of speakers we have cooked up for you! With this 2010 program taking place in June, you will also be able to take full advantage of all the wonderful activities that Silver Bay has to offer- e.g., lake cruises, sailing, sunfish, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, nature center, fitness center, tennis, badminton, volleyball, archery, horseshoes, shuffleboard, meditation labyrinth, mountain hikes, yoga studio, anti-bored board games, campfires, peaceful porches to just "hang out," and lots more!

Over 21,000 people from all walks, hops, skips, and jumps of life have attended our annual programs from all 50 states, throughout Canada, and 6 continents-- including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Guam, Holland, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, South Africa, (North) Dakota, and humor hot spots in between.

Some people pay their own way because of the personal and professional benefits; in other cases, organizations will send their employees because of the personal, professional, and organizational payoffs. But don’t just "take it" from us— lend an eye to the rave reviews about our conferences and about Silver Bay from previous attendees.
