summer camp
NASSK 2021 Summer Camp is on!
Dear Students and Instructors of North American San Shin Kai,
It is that time of year again when we begin preparing to meet in beautiful surroundings for an exciting weekend of Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido training and camaraderie! This year's location is one we have not been at in several years. It will be Camp Lokanda in the Catskill Mountains near Glen Spey in upstate New York. Camp Lokanda's facilities are among the best. The camp is located on 80 acres on a scenic 3-mile natural spring-fed lake. The bunks are comfortable, modern and clean with bathrooms, showers and beautiful lake views. Last time we were at Camp Lokanda, they had recently added a brand new dining hall and kitchen which is over 14,000 square feet! Attached to this building is a huge outdoor covered pavilion for outdoor eating and barbecue. All of the food served at Lokanda is Kosher and dairy and meat meals are never mixed. The Chef takes great pride in the variety and quality of the meals offered during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Of the many choices there is always a great salad bar with plenty of fresh options. The Social Hall is a large beautiful air-conditioned building that is spacious enough for a large group with wood floors appropriate for Iaido practice.
Please join us for an action packed weekend of traditional Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido and fun! North American San Shin Kai, Roger Wehrhahn

Camp Notes and Shinsa Results
07/09/11 21:01 Filed in: Events
On behalf of Mitsuzuka Munehiro sensei and myself, we wish to congratulate all attending SSK members for a successful and memorable camp! We know some of you risked hardship and even danger to attend. For those of you who suffered losses, our hopes and prayers are with you for a quick return to normalcy.
Congratulations to all who tested! We are proud of you. Not everyone is willing to open themselves up to critique by their peers. We appreciate your commitment and courage. If the test were evaluated solely on spirit, every candidate would surely have passed, however, we must take into consideration many other areas of the testing performance! We and the instructors of the students that need to retest are committed to working closely with you to help you achieve the level you tested for. We apologize for not getting the chance to formally announce the results of the test, as we finished late in the day and most people left right after dinner to avoid the approaching storm.
Yours in Iaido,
Roger Wehrhahn, Shihan
