Family Camp Weekends at Baltimore Yearly Meeting Camp Properties offer us all a chance to come and enjoy our beautiful camp properties at a special time of year. Individuals and families are invited to come and enjoy the camps for a day or for the weekend. This spring, we will have an program coordinator at each weekend, who will plan camp-type activities for Saturday and Sunday mornings, as well as Saturday afternoon and evening. These may include things like playing in the creek, a crafts project or hiking around one of the most precious places on earth. There will also be plenty of work projects to do! Work projects offer people with all kinds of skills the opportunity to enjoy some meaningful and satisfying work! We will enjoy meals together, have time to explore and even spend some time around a camp fire in the evening. Come and enjoy a camp experience, give the gift of your time, participate with children in activities and find yourself rejuvenated.
THE SPRING SPIRITUAL FORMATION RETREAT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
We have unexpectedly few registrations for our Spring Spiritual Formation retreat this year. We know that the Mother’s Day weekend is not ideal for many people, but it has been the only weekend offered to us by the Priestfield Retreat Center in recent years. We also sense that the costs at Priestfield may be a burden to some Friends; hence our focus on identifying ways to provide spiritual nurture funds for the program. In response to this low registration, we will not be holding the Spring retreat this year. We will hold a retreat again in the Fall; in the meantime, the Spiritual Formation Working Group will be reaching out to program participants from recent years via a survey. For more information, contact Marilyn Rothstein. (marilynrothstein@comcast.net)
The last JYF con (for 6th to 8th graders) of the year will be at Opequon Quaker Camp. Please arrive at 10 am with sleeping bag, pad, pillow, change of clothes and toiletries. The theme for this and all weekends during the 2014-15 school year will be 'Sense of Self'. For information, contact Alison Duncan. (301-774-7663) Please remember that the deadline to register and be guaranteed a slot is one week before the conference (May 1). Any one registering after that date will be placed on a waiting list and may not be able to attend.
