From the Camp Director, Gregg Noll

Welcome to the first issue of Shehaqua Family News. The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you informed about the programs of the Shehaqua Family: Shehaqua Winter Retreat, Spring Gathering, Hoe Down, and—the biggest and most popular one—Shehaqua Family Camp, which takes place every summer. This newsletter will also give you a tool to inform other families about our programs.

We are launching an exciting video competition! What we are looking for is an original video advertising Shehaqua Family camp. The ad should make both newcomers and old Shehaqua Family campers feel excited about attending camp this summer. The clip can be

Camp Shehaqua – Weekend 2.5

Purpose: Provide a weekend experience for families, couples, and older BC’s who want to be part of Camp Shehaqua but don’t have time for a full week of camp.  The aim is to provide a fun, meaningful, condensed version of family camp.

Schedule:

Hi Everyone,

Jin Kwon Kim will be launching a pilot program for young adults (ages 18-25) at Family Camp during week two (July 25-30th, 2009).

Here the focus will be examining the Divine Principle and its direct application to our lives. Real discussions and debates on the meaning of core tenants of Unificationism, the Unification Movement and our own life of faith. This will be a separate educational / reflective tract with a more relaxed schedule for participants. If you are interested in deepening your understanding of the Divine Principle, gaining greater clarity into your life’s course and probing the relevance of the Unification Movement then this forum is for you.

Register today.

Here is a promotional flyer / postcard that we have designed to promote Shehaqua Family Camp. If you would like actual postcards you can contact Betsy Bonini, Gregg Jones or myself and we can give you some for distribution.

Or you can print out the postcard and give them to family and friends. Also, you can post at Sunday Service or other locations in your local communities. Summer Camp is such a great way to get away from all the distractions of life to reconnect to our original divine nature, to brothers & sisters as well as to God’s pure heart.

Let’s share this experience with our friends…. Camp is extremely guest friendly!

Only 8 weeks away until Shehaqua Heaven arrives.
