We want to reboot our Family Camp tradition this year, after many years away. The registration form follows, but first a little information.
What to expect:
This will be a fun weekend with some organized activities, plenty of free time, and plenty of things to do.
Friday Evening
Check in starts at 6 PM
Dinner is NOT provided
Icebreaker starts at 7:30 PM
*Bring along a snack to share with everyone*
Saturday
A group activity after breakfast.
Various optional activities after lunch, including something for the kids. If you would like more than 2 hours of child minding on Saturday afternoon, please indicate so on your registration.
Skits / talent show in the evening
Sunday
Church service after breakfast
Weekend concludes after lunch, but you are free to enjoy the grounds for the afternoon.
All meals will be provided in the main lodge in a cafeteria like setting. Meals are delicious and a great chance to get to know people better.
You have a variety of accommodation types to choose from. Emory Lodge is close to a hotel room setting, except, just like all the other Squeah accommodation types, you do have to bring your own bedding and towels. The main lodge is like a dorm setting with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. The cabins are more rustic, with bathrooms and showers in a separate building. Finally, you could bring an RV and there is full hook up, or you could simply tent. For pictures of the accommodations see http://squeah.com/retreat/accommodations/
There are plenty of things to do at Squeah. There are a number of hikes, and we will organize at least one hike with a leader who knows where they are going. There is a big gym where we can play floor hockey. There is also a nice climbing wall that we will make available on Saturday afternoon. There is a games room in the lodge for ping pong, fooseball etc. There is a couple of fire pits and we will be doing s’mores on Saturday night around the fire. There is a big field for playing soccer or other fun games. If weather permits we will have our Sunday service outside in the “chapel in the sky.”
What to Bring:
· Clothing suitable for being outdoors, given the expected weather conditions
· Bedding and towels
· Toiletries (there is no soap or shampoo in the rooms)
· A snack to share with others on Friday night
· The right gear for the kind of activity you want to be involved in (good footwear for a hike, maybe a hockey stick for floor hockey)
