Camp Widow 2010 will be held from August 6-8 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina in San Diego, California.

Highlights of Camp Widow 2010 will include a keynote address by Michelle Neff Hernandez, founder and Executive Director of SSFL, a great variety of workshops and an opportunity to run the Widow Dash 5k.

Dr. Laura Slap-Shelton, will be hosting the Global Panel this year and will be a part of the Writer's Panel. The Global Panel will explore the similarities and differences between the experiences of widows in the U.S. and in developing countries with the help of featured speaker, Barr. Mrs. Nonyelum Madubuko, founder of the Divine Rescue Mission in Nigeria. Mrs. Madbuko, a widow herself, will discuss the work her foundation does throughout Nigeria.
