		Let’s go to CAMP …..BE INSPIRED!
2010 PSWD Family Camp
Dear UU Families and Friends: I am sure your children have told you how much fun it is to go to PSWD yoUUth camp, and now your entire family can enjoy camping together at PSWD Family Camp. This camp has the PSWD stamp of approval for FUN and will take place on August 1 – 7, 2010. *BE INSPIRED!* is a camp for the entire family. You couldn’t ask for a more talented group of people on the planning team. Amy Brunnel, Super Woman and Super Camp Dean, grew up attending Family Camp at de Benneville, and has been contributing her high energy and talents to the family camp experience for many years. She is accompanied by Rev. Matthew Crary of the Riverside UU Church, and Tera Little of the PSWD executive staff. Together, they are developing a camp that will knock your socks off! You won’t find a more affordable family vacation this summer. Spending time at camp with your family and UU’s from around the district is an incredible experience. We may live in a broken world, but today we are afforded an unprecedented opportunity to heal it. For Family Camp, let’s gather our families—share our stories, recognize our common concerns. How do we teach our children meaningful values when the world values seem to conflict with our individual family principles?
What can be accomplished when families gather together to explore questions of equity and justice? How can each of us contribute to our wider community to heal it? Let’s explore these questions together. And, yes, hiking, swimming, relaxing, eating, recreating, canoeing, playing, arts & crafting…….they are all a part of the family camp experience too! Come spend a week in the mountains sharing, reflecting and *being inspired!* Let’s play, sing and laugh as we explore our mountain get-away together. Lodging and meals are included. You don’t even have to make your bed or do the dishes! How great is that!
Some families are having a struggle with paying the fees for summer camp. Kids want to come, families want the UU camp experience, but parents are worried about the cost. De Benneville has made paying for camp easier than ever. A $75 pp non-refundable deposit will hold your space. You can send in a partial payment each month until camp starts. Pay any balance when you arrive to check in. Easy!

Summer and Camp, two things that just go together—like graham crackers and melting marshmallows or peanut butter and jelly! UU summer camps have been credited with character development—children coming into their own. So many of our PSWD yoUUth have grown up to work as counselors, workshop leaders and deans at de Benneville summer camps. Janet James, Executive Director
