Artist's Retreat: Music Edition 2020

The Spring Gathering is one of the Shehaqua Family’s newest programs. Back in the early days of Shehaqua Family Camp, a few families would meet at Camp Shehaqua in spring to prepare for the Family Camps in summer. Although there wasn't a specific program, these meetings were a lot of fun for both the adults and kids that attended, and more and more people kept coming.

In 2010, a specific Spring Gathering program with presentations and sport activities was offered for the first time. In the following years the program was further developed, with an emphasis on adventurous activities for young adults. In the past, these activities have included whitewater rafting, paintballing, large capture-the-flag games, hikes, and scavenger hunts.

This year, for the first time ever, we are hosting an Artists’ Retreat: Music Edition!!! The Artist's Retreat takes place at Camp Shehaqua in Hickory Run State Park on May 29th through June 1st. It starts on a Friday night and lasts until Sunday afternoon.
