Family Camp - $210 (or more) per household family (all ages)
July 20-23 – 7pm Sunday – 3:00 pm Wednesday
Spend 4 days with your family in a relaxing Christian environment. Stay in a private cabin or one of our air-conditioned options or bring your own RV or trailer and leave the cooking to us. Plenty of planned camp activities and free time! The $210-$315 price is per family (per room) and includes meals. Kay Meyer from Family Shield radio program will be leading sessions each day for parents and will be discussing parenting (& grandparenting for those grandparents who come).
No other camps are scheduled in order to free up our staff to dedicate their time to leading the families in all the camp activities, such as swimming and campfire singing and devotions, Bible studies, crafts, etc. There will also be times for individual families to go off and do their own thing such as hiking, biking, fishing, archery, etc. You may even want to take in local area activities or attractions like the new Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Extend your stay at our regular lodging rates.
