Winter Retreat at Camp Innabah, December 29 - January 1

Winter...cold, long, dark nights. What better way to warm up than to soak in a spiritual spa or wake up your spirit with a Polar Bear Plunge at Camp Innabah. Come join us for four days of family fun activities and education, the best food that money CAN'T buy, life-enriching interaction and fellowship, all for one purpose—to prepare and empower you for the year ahead.

This year’s theme is "The Happy Secret to a Better Life." The grand finale: Bonfire/Prayer to welcome 2014 followed by a Midnight Dance Party. January 1 begins with God’s New Year Day Celebration followed by a family potluck, entertainment, and a special gift from the Give One-Take One Offering Table.

This year's team is led by Yung Chia and Matt Holden; Education: Dorit Smith, Cynthia Jones, Victor Servito, Igraine Convery; Activities: Kyra Moyer, and Joe Hinkle. The adult education track will be facilitated by Gregg Noll and will expand on the retreat theme. In Sook Spacek will be director of K/Pre-K program.

Please note that due to lodging constraints we cannot guarantee that families and couples can sleep together in the same room at Innabah. If this is important to you (if you have small kids, for example), we recommend that you stay off-site. Please see below for details.

Don’t miss out ending this year on a spiritual/physical high at the 2013/14 Shehaqua Winter Retreat.

New This Year: Sleep at the Comfort Inn instead of Innabah

Couples or families who wish to sleep in same room (not always possible at Innabah) can choose to stay off-site from the retreat: We recommend staying at the Comfort Inn and Suites (2.5 stars) in Pottstown, only 10 minutes north of Camp Innabah.

There will be a separate "Staying at Hotel" pricing (for meals and activities) if you are sleeping off-site. To make a reservation with the Comfort Inn and Suites:

Go to www.priceline.com
Click on "Express Deals"
Enter "Pottstown, PA" as destination, check-in 12/29, check-out 1/1, then click "Search Express Deals"
Scroll down until you see the "Pottstown, 2.5 Star, $41" deal and click on "Choose".
Enter required payment information, and you are good to go. Price subject to increase, so book early.

Please note that any reservation you make is between you and the Comfort Inn, and that Shehaqua is not a part of this contract.
