Camp Culture Intro to Family Camping

Camp Culture Intro to Family Camping

This is your family’s stress-free intro to camping — without the overwhelm. This weekend is about bonding, learning, and memory-making — in community. We’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to. Just bring your food, clothing, and a sense of adventure.

Ready-to-camp tepee style tents are fully equipped with beds, cooking supplies, lighting, and more — no need to pack gear or figure it all out alone. You’ll have access to washroom and shower facilities, firewood, and a supportive team on-site the whole weekend. Families with children 17 and under will be given registration priority. Only one ticket needed per family/tent — covers up to 6 people (max 4 adults).

Payment Options: Pay in full or secure your spot with a deposit. The remaining balance is due 3 weeks before camp. Need a different payment plan? Reach out—we’re happy to work with you.
