Camp Write-Up - Northwest Sufi Camp provides opportunities for Dances of Universal Peace and mystical experiences through the teachings of Murshid Samuel Lewis, Hazarat Inayat Khan and other teachers. The camp brings together Sufi teachers, students and other friends for fellowship and community building. It provides programs for all from age 3 to our beloved elders.  Here are some comments from our campers:
