Camp Emmaus Labor Day Family Camp

Family Camp is from August 31st to September 3rd. The unofficial motto of the weekend is "eat, sleep, and burn wood".

There are currently vacancies in some of the cabins, but there is also lots of space for tents and some spots for campers.

Most of the people attending Family Camp come prepared to cook their own meals, but there are also some other options worked into the schedule. On Saturday evening there is the annual appreciation dinner where the Camp Board serves a complimentary meal and presents a program to thank all of those involved with Camp Emmaus. On Sunday morning there is also a pancake breakfast where pancakes, sausage, and coffee are served. Donations are accepted for the breakfast and all money collected goes back to the camp. Otherwise time is set up for swimming, crafts, some group games, along with plenty of free time to hike the trails, fish in the lake, or relax around the campfire. It is a relaxing and wonderful weekend to spend with new and old friends in God's creation! Please come out to visit for a day if you can't get away for the whole weekend.
