Family Camp

What Family Camp is

Family Camp is structured to mirror the main Summer Camp program while keeping family members together. It’s a chance to enjoy the outdoors, try camp activities, and build confidence in a fun setting.

Whether families are hoping for a future independent camp experience or just want time away from home, the program creates a welcoming environment for new and returning participants.
