UPBC - 2006 Family Camps

Family Camp I - Director: Ken Raymond

Family Camp II - Director: Don VanRyn

Family Spiritual Adventure (New for 2008)

Family Camps I & II - For all ages, with or without children

In a day when the family is under attack, what meaningful opportunities are provided by these sessions! Camp facilities and equipment are made available for moms, dads, and kids to enjoy together. With delicious meals provided, Mom gets a vacation from the kitchen! Some optional activities are planned, and there's plenty of free time. There are uplifting Chapel sessions twice a day for adults, with teens, children's programs, and nursery offered concurrently. Picnic day allows families an opportunity to explore their favorite natural attractions in the beautiful surrounding area. Choose from waterfalls, beaches, a canoe trip, wildlife viewing, biking, or hiking.

Family Camp applications should be mailed on February 1 (or February 2 on years that February 1 falls on a Sunday).

Family Spiritual Adventure - Directors: Dean & Annette Ferris

For parents and their K-12 school-aged children

Proverbs 22:6
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."

“Apart from church-based programs, the typical Christian family spends less than three hours per month in endeavors designed to jointly develop or apply their faith.”

“Most Christian parents do not believe they are doing a good job at facilitating the spiritual development of their children.”

~ George Barna, based on research of Evangelical Christians

Take your family on a spiritual adventure with us this summer!

Directed by parents-of-four Dean and Annette Ferris, Family Spiritual Adventure Camp will help parents discover and practice ways to lead their family's spiritual life. There will be biblically-based coaching and discussion in the mornings for parents, and plenty of opportunities to apply these lessons with your children during the rest of the day. Camp staff will provide the teaching and the programming, but will give parents plenty of opportunity to provide spiritual leadership to their own families through the course of each day. There will be family team-building challenges, some family outdoor cooking, and some excursions to beautiful locations in the Upper Peninsula. We hope you and your family will join us for this exciting new week of camp!
