What is Family Camp?

Family Camp is a six-night summer retreat at Fort where your family can bond deeply, grow closer to God, and play all day long. Campers tell us how impactful a week at Family Camp is for their family’s long-term health and closeness. Many families come back year after year to their 2nd home at Fort. If you long for a place where your kids and grandkids can safely roam and make friends, Fort’s a great choice.

Activities Open

You can come to camp and plan out your schedule to be jam-packed every minute, or you can plan to relax and nap under the Northwoods’ canopy of trees. Camp activities are endless. Most everything is free, included with camp! If there is a charge, it is simply to cover the cost of materials.

More Than a Vacation

Daily you will have a time of worship and teaching. Children and teens (infant through high school) attend their own age-appropriate session while adults gather to worship together and listen to the week’s speaker. Expect to leave feeling encouraged and deeply connected.

What’s included?
Nearly everything! You can hit the waterfront to take out a kayak, do a flip off the rope swing and meet the animals in the nature center before heading over to the rock climbing tower and waterslide all without opening your wallet. Many activities are included, and when there is an extra charge, we work to keep prices low simply to cover costs. Plus, evenings bring a camp run activity to participate in. You’ll enjoy fry bread, family games, cowboy truth and more!

What about early departure?
Our week-long pricing is for a full week, anyone leaving early (or arriving a day or two late) will have their bill recalculated on a day rate plus a 15% surcharge. There will be NO adjustments made for early departures or late arrivals once your camp begins. All adjustments must be called in before your arrival at camp.
