Spring Gathering Registration Is Open

Shehaqua Spring Gathering: Friday, May 15 – Sunday, May 17
Director: Tasnah Moyer

Spring has sprung! Time to shake off the winter blues, all that stress from shoveling and being cooped up all winter, and join us for our annual Spring Gathering at our beloved Camp Shehaqua! We're mixing things up a little this year!

First off, we've got an awesome staff lined up! Danny Angelino is my Assistant Director (we train them young ;)). Brooke Abrahams and Kyra Moyer are heading up our education. Jake Mas and Francis Marchitelli are our Adventure Team. And Naomi Parks, Ethan McKenna, Carolyn Bonini, and Joe Hinkle are our Music Crew.

In line with the Spring Gathering's adventure theme, our motto this year is "Breaking Free!". Life is about growing, using the opportunities that come our way to Break Free of the things that hold us back—our fears, doubts, worries, insecurities—so that we can achieve our fullest potential! Thus we are excited to introduce Shehaqua's first Challenge Obstacle Course, the perfect event to push the mind, body, and soul to the next level together with friends and family!

Who doesn't love music and the way it moves the soul? We're kicking off the spring with a rockin' live concert in the meadow! Featuring multiple acts, one headline band, and dancing. Enjoy the bonfire, s'mores, and games with family members of all ages. Bring your friends and family. See you there!

Weekend 1.5:
Friday, July 24 – Sunday, July 26
Codirectors: Yuri Palhof & TBD
If your schedule doesn't allow for a whole week of family camp, or if you are not sure that you want to commit for a whole week, then Weekend 1.5 is for you. Get a taste of the magic of Shehaqua during a weekend and come back for a whole week next year.

Week 2:
Monday, July 27 – Saturday, August 1
Codirectors: Claude Aubert & Michael Stewart
Coeducation directors: Liz Bonini Stewart & TBD
Week 2 welcomes families young and old. Bring your 3-generation family to Shehaqua for a family reunion! Last year we had four grandparents with their grandkids at Week 2! And bring along your friends; everyone is welcome.

Week 2 is happy to welcome the Treasures of Heaven program, with innovative activities for special needs kids and support for their parents. We expect about 25 people in this group. Treasures of Heaven will have their own education program, and we'll join together for activities and entertainment whenever possible.

Week 3:
Monday, August 3 – Saturday, August 8
Codirectors: Chris Bush & Bruce Clarke
Join us during Week 3 of Family Camp for a special program during our adult discussion time. We will be exploring the Three Blessings:

• First Blessing: Learn about Tai-Chi and Qi-Gong, which integrate movement, breathing and posture to maintain your health and help you work on the unity between your spirit, mind and body or actions. We will also be studying the Book of Genesis and the Divine Principle.
• Second Blessing: Explore healthy relationships and what we need to do to build and maintain them.
• Third Blessing: Explore and learn about stewardship of the environment, plus tips on retirement, earning more and being financially successful. We will also be sharing tips on healthy eating and living.

The adult discussions occur in the mornings and afternoons, so you and your kids can still participate in all the fun activities at Camp. The discussions will be interactive, with lots of time for sharing and questions. We will be inviting guest speakers, so don't miss out on this.

Exciting youth program in the planning stages...stay tuned. If you have come to Camp in the past, but your kids are grown, consider having a family reunion at Shehaqua.
