2027 Dates Coming Soon

Family Camp

Faith. Family. Time Together.

Step away from the everyday and spend a weekend together on the mountain — growing in faith, strengthening relationships, making memories, and simply enjoying time as a family.

Plan for Family Camp 2027

A Weekend for the Whole Family

Family Camp welcomes families of all ages and stages to a peaceful place where they can slow down, reconnect, have fun, and grow together in their Catholic faith.

Through prayer, recreation, age-based programming, great meals, time as a couple, and plenty of classic camp fun, families are invited to experience the mountain together in a meaningful way.

Family Camp is about building strong marriages, growing as parents, strengthening family relationships, and creating a spiritual legacy that can continue long after the weekend ends.

The Family Camp Experience

A weekend that brings faith, recreation, connection, and rest together in one place.

Vacation with Purpose

Enjoy spiritual programming, Mass, meaningful speakers, and time designed to strengthen faith, marriage, and family life.

Camp Adventures

Swimming, zip line, climbing, archery, hiking, field games, campfires, and other mountain activities bring plenty of fun.

Programs for Every Age

Children and teens participate in age-appropriate programming while encountering God through community and the beauty of creation.

Time as a Couple

Designated childcare gives parents opportunities to step away together while their children enjoy camp with caring teen leaders.

Great Meals

Meals are prepared throughout the weekend so families can focus less on logistics and more on enjoying their time together.

Mountain Lodging

A range of lodging options helps families choose an experience that fits their household and their weekend on the mountain.

Be Together Without the Distractions

Family Camp creates space to step away from busy schedules, technology, errands, and everyday responsibilities so families can focus on one another.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the simplest — walking through camp together, sharing a meal, sitting around a campfire, watching your kids explore, or finding a quiet moment to pray.

  • Faith experiences for the whole family
  • Marriage and parenting encouragement
  • Age-based children's and teen programming
  • Outdoor recreation and family activities
  • Time to unplug and reconnect

Child Care Assistants serving families at Family Camp

Child Care Assistants

Child Care Assistants — or CCAs — are high school students who help care for younger campers and support children's programming throughout Family Camp weekends.

Their service gives young children a familiar, caring face throughout the weekend while creating opportunities for parents to attend sessions, spend time together, and enjoy camp knowing their children are being supported.

Empty Nesters

For longtime Family Camp families, the experience doesn't have to end when the kids grow up.

The Empty Nester program invites experienced members of the Family Camp community back to the mountain to serve through hospitality, prayer, encouragement, and behind-the-scenes support.

It is a way to pay forward the experience that has meant so much to generations of families while continuing to be part of the community that makes camp feel like home.
