What is Family Camp?
It’s about spending time with those you care about most and having FUN! Bring the whole family for a relaxing weekend on the mountain! Develop strong family bonds during this special time away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday world as you enjoy a camp experience everyone will remember all year long. Let us do all the cooking and cleaning while you enjoy quality time with your kids and loved ones.
“Camptivities” are scheduled throughout the day so that your family members can participate as much, or as little, as they like. There are plenty of things to do for both the young and young-at-heart. Evenings are filled with themed all-camp programs.
