Check back regularly for more Family Camp dates to be added.

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
