WHAT IS FAMILY CAMP?

​

As we all know, life is busy.  Work, school, kids' activities, volunteering, appointments, meetings and family commitments are just a handful of things that keep us busy - and sometimes all in the same day!  That's why 2nd Family Camp is so wonderful.  It provides us with a week to recharge, refresh and reconnect with the people that matter most.  Whether you can can come for a few days or stay the whole week, those who come will experience a break from the day to day business of life.  From a peaceful walk in the quiet of the early morning to enjoying the gorgeous sunset over the lake in the evening, a day a Kedleston can be just what you need.

The day is scheduled to provide refreshment for your spirit, soul and body.  Delicious meals are provided where everyone eats together in our dining hall.  Services are held in the morning with kids and teens having their own sessions, and again in the evening where everyone comes together to worship and receive from the speakers that bring God's word.  The afternoons can be whatever you need them to be - fun and action-packed or slow and relaxing.  Activities are scheduled and supervision is provided so that everyone, young and old, can enjoy any kind of day they want.  Evenings bring times for fellowship around campfires or in the dining hall for mug-up.  Youth can keep the fun going with supervised night games and activities (don't worry mom and dad - there is a curfew!)

Gratis is also a part of Family Camp.  Having campers participate in some of the jobs that need doing throughout the day (primarily in the kitchen and dining hall) not only helps keep registration costs down but also gives families the opportunity to learn to serve together.  Great conversations are often had and friendships developed while drying dishes or clearing tables at camp!  

So whether you're single, married, big family or small, plan on coming and spending some time at Family Camp - it might just be exactly what you need to gain strength and encouragement for your life.
