Grandparent/Grandchild Camps

Before you register — information for grandparents

These camps are specially geared for grandchildren ages 4-12 and their grandparents. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your grandchildren while you pass on your heritage of faith and experience, enjoy Bible lessons, nature, crafts, games, fishing, swimming and campfires. Each family stays together in a private room unless you ask to lodge with another family. All Grandparent/Grandchild Camps are 3 nights and 4 days.

Before you register . . . Information for Grandparents GRANDPARENTS — When registering your family members online for grandparent or family camps, please complete a separate registration for yourself.  Register as a separate “camper family,” different than your grandchildren’s “camper family.” On your registration, watch for the field that will ask for the last names of your grandchildren and size of group attending so we can cross reference the family groups and assign lodging based on size and need. EVERY ADULT AND CHILD attending Grandparent/Grandchild and any of our family camps needs their own separate registration form and deposit. A DEPOSIT must be paid for EVERY ADULT AND CHILD registering for these camps.   Deposit amounts:  children age 12 and under - $30; youth over 12 and adults - $75.  One check can be sent per family unit.

 

Floating with the Spirit - Women's Canoe Camp

Do you want to meet interesting women and share your faith, your struggles and your joys? Any life experience you have will contribute to the richness of the camp. If you want to laugh, play, be like a kid again for a few days, this is your camp.  Women of all ages will enjoy this camp. We will canoe downstream on local rivers, camp out in tents, enjoy good food, and share stories around the campfire.

Hand in Hand Camp

Sixteen junior/senior high youth join 16 developmentally disabled youth/young adults in living "hand in hand" as children of God.  Enjoy classic camp activities from hiking to campfire vespers.  Explore living together in faith with different abilities. An unforgettable week!
