If you yearn for a more vibrant spiritual community,
If you hunger for more time for worship, reflection, and deepening the connections among Friends,
Come to QuakerCamp!
 Friends Together:
QuakerCamp at Stillwater
Barnesville, Ohio
June 22-28, 2008
We invite all Friends hungry for spiritual community, of all ages, to spend time in worship, reflection, conversation, and play. We hope to bring together Friends from all branches of Quakerism, to share what Spirit-led Quakerism is about at its core--and to experience it together.
 Program:
--Mornings will begin with Bible study or other preparation for worship, followed by unprogrammed worship and opportunities for sharing our spiritual gifts. There will be several opportunities for extended, open-ended worship during the week.
--Afternoons will be free for workshops and focused conversations arising out of our time together, as well as play and family activities.
--Evenings will include plenary offerings, and opportunities for corporate discernment around issues rising out of the group.
--There will be a number of special presentations by members of Ohio Yearly Meeting, introducing others to Conservative Friends' experience of Quakerism. (These were a wonderful part of last year's Quakercamp!)
 Families are welcome. There will be a program for children in the morning, and childcare will be offered in the evening so parents can fully participate. There will be dormitory housing at Olney Friends School, and space for camping (with rv hookups and bathroom and shower facilities) around the Stillwater Meetinghouse. For more information on available free-time activities & the surrounding area, click on Site & Activities.
Suggested contributions, adequate to cover the fees charged by Olney Friends School, are shown on the attached print-friendly Registration form.pdf or registration form as webpage.
 Registration will begin Sunday afternoon, June 22, at 3 pm. The gathering will close with meeting for worship on Saturday morning, June 28, with box lunches available. (For those attending the FGC Summer Gathering, travel time is about 3 hours to Johnstown PA.)
