Shehaqua Council Welcomes New Members

The Shehaqua Council is happy to introduce to new council members:

Igraine Convery is originally from Philadelphia, PA, but currently lives in Boston, MA. She has been attending Camp Shehaqua programs for 21 years. She has been a group leader and teacher for the kindergarten, elementary, and middle school age group at multiple programs, and has been education director for Camp Shehaqua Family Camp as well as the Shehaqua Winter Retreat. Igraine loves being a part of the Shehaqua programs because they play a big role in her spiritual, emotional and social growth. Most of her longtime friends are Camp Shehaqua alumni, and she considers the Shehaqua community to be a part of her extended family. You can reach Igraine at [email address redacted].

Irina Kouznetsova-Schneider, her husband, Steve, and their daughters, Eva and Anya, have been attending Shehaqua Family Camp since 2010. Irina has served as arts and crafts co-director and kitchen staff. She has also been an active participant in adult educational programs. Irina loves Shehaqua Family Camp as a great place to annually reconnect with friends and their families. You can reach Irina at [email address redacted].

The Shehaqua Family would like to thank the outgoing council members Doug Ashley (2014–2017) and Rob Sayre (2016–2018) for their contributions to the Council.

2018 Shehaqua T-Shirt

Last year nine people submitted a total of 13 t-shirt designs for our 2017 Shehaqua T-shirt Contest! But this year we received only one submission, which automatically became the winning entrance. It was designed by Claude Aubert. We will announce how you can pre-order your shirt before Shehaqua Family Camp in a later newsletter.
