Here are a few quick highlights about our Family Camps:

• Each morning at breakfast, families will be presented with program options that they can to sign up for and participate in throughout the day. There will be a mix of both Cedar Glen staff facilitated, as well as self-guided activities to choose from.

• All programs and activities are not mandatory. Families are more than welcome to explore and experience our site on their own or take breaks as needed throughout the day.

• All meals and activities will be a shared experience with other families participating as part of the Camp.

• Every evening after dinner there will be an opportunity for all families to come together to participate in fun group games, campfires and more

You will be greeted by a Cedar Glen staff member that will help get you checked in, confirm any last minute details, provide you with all necessary information and complete any outstanding paperwork. We will then direct you/your family over to your accommodations for you to get settled and begin your camp experience!
