Meadowlark Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi, I just wanted to pop on here and say that if you've never thought about taking your family to family camp, you should consider it! Obviously it's not for everyone, but this is the second year we've gone and it's an awesome fresh breath for our family. My kids absolutely ADORE it, and even my very skeptical husband just loves it. Archery, laser tag, gun range, kayaking and canoeing, mountain boarding, horse program, beautiful lake, bible teaching...it's all there. AND...I didn't have to make or clean up one single meal in 6 days! Oh, and they even assigned 2 counselors just to our family, and sent us out on a date night! Best of all, I got the idea from someone here. I had never thought about going before and someone said there was actually a great one in my state. I had never heard of it, but after googling, found out it's just 1.5 hours away. A little gem tucked away in the northern valley. Just wanted to share our experience. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen3kids Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I have friends in California who have done a Family Camp since their kids were toddlers. The kids are now 19 and 21 and they have gone every summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 We went to a family camp in the mountains near us fairly often when I was growing up. It really was a lovely vacation for everyone. My parents, sisters and their families, and my family went last summer, all 31 of us, and it was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I would love to do family camp. But all the ones I know of are religious and focus on worship and talks revolving around religion. As a result, my husband would not go at all and I would be a little uncomfortable myself. If anyone knows of any that are less religious, I would love suggestions. Like, don't mind chapel being offered or prayers before means, but do mind the focus of everything being God and worshipping and such.

jen3kids Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 My friends went to one through the Y and they are not religious and have never mentioned any religious activities in the many years they went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
