Family Camp
MHKC Family Camp
Camp together. Explore together. Grow together.
Family Camp gives campers the chance to explore camp life in a safe and supportive environment with parents, caregivers, and siblings present for a 3-day, 2-night shared adventure.
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.
