We're excited to announce that Camp Shehaqua will be getting a new stove! As you may have noticed the old stoves at Camp Shehaqua was breaking down. Some of you may have been there when the stoves caught fire. Many of you have seen the burned food caused by the temperamental oven. Shehaqua Family will be getting new stoves for Camp Shehaqua this spring, so we should have new stoves by the summer.

We are presently also planning service projects for this summer, not just in Camp Shehaqua, but throughout the Hickory Run State Park.

Gregg and Elke Noll have been presenting their "Kick Start Your Health" workshops to small groups of people since the beginning of this year. You can get a good idea about the various segments offered in these workshops by watching the 6 minutes video from the workshop that took place in Bowie, MD, in the beginning of February:

Kick Start Your Health

And here are two more links showing some of Elke’s food demonstrations:

Veggie Pancakes

Mango Cashew Salad Dressing

Gregg and Elke will present an extended version of their "Kick Start Your Health" workshop at Shehaqua Family Camp this summer.

Thank you all who voted for their favorite Shehaqua Video Contest video(s) on our Facebook page! Voting ended on Sunday, February 19, and the winners have been chosen by you. We received no votes by email, which means the winner in each of the two categories (individual and family) were chosen solely by people "liking" the video contributions on Facebook.

Every year the Shehaqua community gathers for the Winter Retreat at Camp Innabah to start the New Year off the right with family and friends. The theme "Live the Dream" set the tone for the whole workshop of approximately 130 participants. We wanted to focus on creating a heart of readiness for the new era approaching on D-Day. Since Cheon Il Guk is Father’s dream, we wanted to take the necessary steps to make it a reality this year.
