MAY 27-30, 2010 <-- There will be no 2009 camp
MILFORD, PA, USA
The Concept
We believe what makes Camp Suigetsu special is that we have something for everyone. There are classes and activities for adults, children, martial artists and non-martial artists. During each class session we will provide something for each member of your group or family. Whether you are a martial artist or not, young or old, there will be an organized activity for you. We invite all campers to take advantage of the martial arts classes and activities regardless of experience and skill level.
The Camp
Cedar Lake Camp is located in Milford, Pennsylvania, only 70 miles northwest of New York City and covers 120 beautiful wooded acres. It has a large lake and many paths for taking peaceful walks in the woods. The registration price includes your cabins, meals and all classes/activities. Meals are all-you-can-eat and served in a large dining room. The camp has several indoor workout spaces, as well as plenty of room for outdoor classes. Sunbathe, relax and unwind at the beautiful lakefront! The lakefront at camp will be the center of activity with loads of fun. There is a floating climbing wall (the iceberg), a water slide, and the blob, a large inflatable pillow in the middle of the lake you blob onto and land in the water.
Housing
All cabins and rooms have private bathrooms and showers, multiple electrical outlets, overhead lighting and screened windows. Some have porches. We know that location is important, so when you register for camp, you can pick out your cabin or room and we'll write your name right on the camp map.
Rooms
A hotel-style room consists of your own private upgraded room; about 200 sq ft with twin beds or double beds housing 1 to 4 people with one toilet, sink, shower. These rooms are limited in number and will sell out very quickly!
Cabins
All cabins are approximately 1000 sq ft. They have multiple sinks, showers, and toilets. All cabins have from 14-26 bunk beds. Lakefront and lakeview cabins are available (see the map). You may select your exact cabin location on a first-come basis.
Attention Teens!
Camp Suigetsu is for teens! All Teens (age 12-21) will be invited to participate in special teen-only events and activities throughout the weekend, guaranteed to be cool! Teens will be housed in their own supervised cabin, one for girls and one for boys. Teens 12 and older are permitted to attend camp without a parent.
Health, Wellness, and Alternative Healing
We will have several bodyworkers offering healing treatments at camp including massage, acupuncture, and energy work. Sign-up and rates will be posted at Registration. Pamper yourself while the kids are in class!
Martial Arts and Healing Arts
The primary focus of Camp Suigetsu is martial arts training. All our classes are taught by highly skilled, professional instructors. We strive to offer a variety of martial arts, so that campers may experience not only a wide diversity of styles, but learn from some of the best teachers in the United States. Many of our instructors are highly ranked in their arts and teach seminars around the world. These same instructors teach the children's classes as well as the adult classes. While some of our instructors return year after year, we also bring in new instructors each year to provide diversity and networking opportunities for all instructors as well as students.
Scheduled Martial Arts Classes and Activities
There are 11 scheduled sessions. During each one hour session, there will be 4 simultaneous classes: a martial arts class for adults, a martial arts class for children, an activity for adults and an activity for children.
