Dear Camp Shehaqua Family!

Happy month of May to you! Registration is open for Shehaqua Family Camp. We look forward to seeing you there!

Register by May 31st to get the Early Bird Rate for Shehaqua Family Camp. The dates reserved for Shehaqua Family Camp are as follows:

Shehaqua Family Camp Week 1: Sun, July 21 - Fri, July 26

Directors: Kester Wilkening and Josh Angelucci

Week 1 will feature Whitewater Rafting for the whole family, family-time afternoon activities, and many of our classics: Crafts, Family Fun Night, Volleyball, The Pool, experiencing God in Nature, Mom’s time and Dad’s time, Dodgeball, Talent Night, and more! Join us in creating memories with our amazing community of families

Shehaqua Family and Arts’ Weekend Retreat: Fri, July 26 - Mon, July 29

Directors: Yeol-Shim Bell-Miller and Sunhyun Miller

Join us in the stunning Pocono mountains for a Family and Arts centered weekend in a

Shehaqua Family Camp setting.

If you like to create, learn, play, perform, connect, or explore, this weekend is for you and

your family.

We will have activities for both artists and non-artists. In addition to utilizing multiple staging areas to rehearse, perform, create visual art, or be part of the audience, you will be able to partake in discussions, hike, swim, do crafts, enjoy sports, and take time to reconnect with friends, family, and nature.

There will be learning sessions for all ages, led by participants who enjoy sharing their craft, plus, group discussions on how we can creatively impact our community.

If you have a performing arts or visual arts related talent, this could be an ideal opportunity to share or teach it.

Shehaqua Family Camp Week 2: Mon, July 29 - Sat, Aug 3

Director: Daniel Hess

Education Director: Kaeleigh Moffit

We always have a wonderful time with songs, bonfires, games, sports, friends and a high spirit.

Fun times are guaranteed, but we also want to think about the future and learn about how to prepare for the day (which will come faster than we know it) when it is our time to form and lead families. What will we have to do to get ready for that time, and how will we develop ourselves with that in mind?

Bonus 1: Whitewater Rafting like last year, but different! A different outfitter, and a different section river! (Ages 8 and up!)

Bonus 2: Final night dance (groups not couples of course) party in the Dining Hall!
