Join the
Winter Weekend
Fun!

Martin Luther King’s Birthday weekend
(January 12-15, 2007)

Looking for the perfect winter break? Check out Winter Weekend! It’s a warm wintery gathering of friendly folks in a cozy environment, held again this year with the good people at the Washington Ethical Society. Past attendees rave about this annual tradition. It’s a great place and time to relax and socialize, with singalongs, board games, ping-pong and crafts. There’s sledding and tubing down the big hill outside the main lodge, and cross-country trails right outside your door. In short, there's plenty of fun for grown-ups and kids alike.

For between $100 and $143, you can spend 2 or 3 nights in a heated cabin with hot water showers, with hot and hearty meals served in the main lodge. (You can even pack your own bag lunches for a day on the slopes!) Youth (7 to 17) pay slightly less, with children (4-6) between $52-$70 depending on the number of nights you stay. As always, kids under 4 are free! Snacks and a Saturday night square dance with live band and caller are included!

This memorable getaway will take place at the Camp Soles YMCA, not far from Somerset PA, overlooking a picturesque lake among wooded hills in south central Pennsylvania. That’s about 3-1/2 hours from the DC area, but only minutes from Seven Springs and Hidden Valley ski resorts, several state parks, and town of Somerset’s annual “Fire and Ice” festival.

It’s hard to imagine a better way to spend a long winter weekend. Feel free to invite your friends, neighbors, or relatives; all are welcome!
