Registration for Camp Lovin' Life

LOVIN’ LIFE MINISTRIES 481 8TH AVENUE, SUITE 624 NEW YORK, NY 10001 212-997-0050 X436 www.camplovinlife.com Dear Families,

It is our great pleasure to announce that registration for Camp Lovin’ Life is now open! Camp Lovin’ Life is a

summer camp for middle and high school Unificationists and their friends that will take place at the

Unification Theological Seminary in Barrytown, New York.

Under the direction of our National Pastor, Rev. In

Jin Moon, we are preparing a three week High School Camp and a two week Middle School Camp that will help

teenagers experience the joys of the Unification faith, inherit the vision of Lovin’ Life Ministries, and grow

closer to God and True Parents while having lots and lots of fun with their peers.

Camp FUNdamentals

Camp Lovin’ Life’s vision is to raise up a Generation of Peace by inspiring young people to inherit the true love

We do that by educating them to understand that they are eternal sons and daughters of our

Heavenly Parent, each with their own unique, divine value.

We encourage youth to live lives of altruism,

compassion and excellence by rooting themselves in Lovin’ Life Ministries’ five spiritual practices: Inspire,

Empower, Connect, Contribute and Inherit.

In order to achieve our vision, we believe that young people must be grounded in the teachings of Rev. Sun

Myung Moon and the Divine Principle, which are our primary sources of educational content at Camp Lovin’

Most importantly, we want our graduates to have a real understanding of how to apply True Parents’

teachings in their daily life.

For this reason, educational opportunities at camp are balanced between

classroom-­‐style presentations and challenge-­‐based experiential learning.

Most importantly, Camp Lovin’ Life is a summer camp (not a workshop) where we believe young

Unificationists should experience the joys of youth in a spiritually rich environment.

Therefore, a great portion

of our schedule is devoted to having fun, and we do this on purpose.

Teenagers are more apt to learn when

they are having fun.

Teenagers are more likely to feel safe, and thus open their hearts when they are having

Thus, having fun is a FUNdamental goal of Camp Lovin Life.

Camp Facility

The facility in Barrytown affords us lots of room for all of the exciting activities that we are planning for this

year’s camp.

In addition to the traditional camp favorites like roasting marshmallows over a campfire or

running until your legs burn in a game of capture the flag, we are making efforts to ensure that our campers

will also be able to go horseback riding, play water-­‐sports, and get a first hand understanding behind the

history and heritage of the UTS property.

Camp Lovin’ Life also provides teens with the unique opportunity to

connect with In Jin nim and the True Family directly by attending Lovin’ Life Ministries in New York City on a

weekly basis.

As you may know, Lovin Life Ministries is constantly encouraging teenagers to discover a sense

of pride in who they are as Unificationists.
