A limited supply of bed rails and pack-n-plays are available for your convenience. Please request prior to your arrival.

**For Cottage, Chalet, and Hilltop Suite guests, all bedding and towels are provided!

Please feel free to dress casually for all meetings. Wednesday night is set aside as Breakaway, a night for parents to get away by themselves. While everything is still casual, you may want to dress well enough to impress your date.

In the summer, the weather is usually warm (upper 70s and 80s) during the day, but sometimes cool (50s) in the mornings and evenings, so you’ll want to bring a light jacket or sweatshirt. You may want to bring some old sneakers and clothing for certain activities or for a rainy day. Be sure to prepare for insects by bringing insect repellent, avoiding perfumes, and avoiding light-colored clothing in the evenings.

For your convenience, we have coin-operated laundry facilities on the property.

As for a Dress Code … we desire to provide an atmosphere of modesty and decency that is in line with biblical principles, but we also recognize it is the husband/father’s responsibility to determine his family’s dress standards. While we rejoice in the freedom we have in Christ, we ask that discretion and deference be the ruling factors in your choice of clothing worn at camp.

Every afternoon is open for family recreation. Many people choose to spend this time around the waterfront. We have a sandy beach, BLOB, three other Aquaglide inflatables, and a ski boat. Every family gets a free half hour for our driver to take you tubing on the lake. If there are extra slots open, you can sign up for another half hour for $30.

A typical day at family camp looks like this:

If you have a specific food allergy, we will do what we can to help you. Please contact us before your week of camp so that our food service staff can properly plan to take care of you.

Initial deposits are $150 ($250 for flat rate units).
We offer two payment options. The first has three payments requiring a second deposit in October, of $150 ($250 for flat rate units) and a final confirmation deposit in March of $300 ($500 for flat rate units). The second option is a monthly payment which allows you to set the amount. The remaining balance is removed 10 days before arrival.

*If at any point you register after one of the scheduled deposits, your initial deposit and the subsequent deposit(s) are combined.

Please note: All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Fifteen minutes before the daily services, our Nursery (0–24 months) and Sonshine Club (ages 2–3) will open. Even at the Sonshine Club level, we believe that your children are learning many things. Going beyond babysitting, your children will hear a Bible story, play games, have snacks, and sing songs that keep reminding them of that story, reinforcing the lesson with all of the senses.

Happy Heart City (ages 4 through 1st grade) and Base Camp (2nd through 5th grades) attend the first part of the service with you. It is important for them to see the honor that Dad and Mom give to God, and it’s good for them to enter into worship with you. Before the main teaching begins, they will be dismissed to their clubs, where our children’s ministers will use their gifts to engage your children with age-appropriate skits, games, and Bible lessons.

The Youth (6th through 12th grades) are usually dismissed at the same time for teaching that addresses their needs and shows them answers contained in Scripture. Sometimes they are invited to remain in the adult sessions, depending on the material being covered.

During Breakaway (formerly Date Night), all the children come to the Tabernacle for a picnic while the parents have a quiet meal at the Lodge. After the children eat, they may go on a hayride, make a craft, or go on a hike. Then they have a session in their clubs. The youth leaders usually have some outrageous activities planned for this occasion. All of these activities give the parents a few hours to enjoy each other’s company without worrying about the children.
