Family Camp FAQ
Essential to the growth and togetherness of any family is time. These days, family time is scarce. Camp Westminster’s Family Camp was created over 50 years ago to give families time together, away from the hectic pace of everyday life. We try to offer the perfect balance of structured programs for kids of all ages and the freedom to relax and explore together. Come swim, paddle, hike in the woods, and enjoy the lakefront with us!
​
What is a week of Family Camp like? Fun, hilarious, relaxing, wet, positive, fun, action-packed, silly, contemplative, creative, fun, and active…and did we say fun? The great thing about Family Camp is it can be as high-energy or as relaxing as you want—you choose the activities! Scale the Lighthouse Climb, enjoy a sunset boat cruise around Higgins Lake, or spend some time relaxing in a rocking chair on the Waterfront Porch. Each morning at breakfast you will have the opportunity to choose your family’s activities, either separately or as a unit. There will also be time set aside for adult Bible Study and separate studies for children and youth. Evenings will be filled with campfires, gourmet s’mores, and fun group activities. Enjoy fellowship and community during adult time each night (there will be individual storytime provided for younger children). Take this opportunity to unwind and appreciate the joys of the Christian community and the magnificence of God’s creation all around you.
