Spend a Weekend at one of our marvelous shacks in the Oregon wilderness. Don’t worry, the Little Ladykiller won’t be waiting for you. Instead you will find a weekend full of adventure and self-revelation. If you enjoyed the book and want to have a similar spiritual journey like Mack’s, you must check out Weekend at the Shack.
In The Shack by Wm. Paul Young, the protagonist Mackenzie Allen Philip receives a mysterious note in the mail and inscribed on the paper is “Mackenzie, It’s been a while. I’ve missed you. I’ll be at the shack next weekend if you want to get together. –Papa.” Mackwas bewildered by this note on account of the travesty it reminded him of. One Labor Day weekend before school started for his kids, he decided to take them on a family camping trip to the Oregon wilderness. During the trip, his youngest daughter Missy was abducted by the Little Ladykiller. The Little Ladykiller was “responsible for killing at least four children so far,” soon to be five. A massive search ensued following the kidnapping and eventually they tracked down the last whereabouts of the criminal, an old abandoned shack in the middle of nowhere. There they found “Missy’s torn and blood-soaked red dress,” and Mack realized the fate of his daughter. Mack wondered who could have sent the letter to him and why they would remind him of such a terrible event. Because of his curiosity, he decides to travel back to the shack telling no one of his plans except his best friend. There he encounters God and travels through a spiritual journey that leads him to finding his daughter’s body and the Little Ladykiller to be arrested and put on trial.
The Weekend at the Shack is a retelling of Mack’s spiritual journey. Once you sign up you will receive a letter in the mail inviting you to one of our shacks. On the date you are supposed to arrive, come on up to the shack and let the adventure begin. Staying with you will be three of our staff members each acting as Elousia, Sarayu, and Jesus. They will be leading you on many fun activities such as canoeing, stargazing, gardening, and carpentry. They will also serve as your spiritual guides for the weekend. If you ever have any questions about how faith works, don’t hesitate to ask. Family meals will be served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is all homemade and past visitors have stated that it was some of the best they have ever eaten, almost like it was crafted by the hands of God himself.
The Weekend at the Shack will work because it mimics the journey Mack went on in the book. Readers of the book will want to experience the same thing he did and now they have the chance to.
