Family Camp
Spring Family Camp is Friday, May 31–Sunday, June 2, 2013.
Registrations forms, available here, are due on Friday, May 24.
Families enjoy sharing faith, fellowship, and fun at Fourth Church Family Camp, held twice a year (in early summer and fall) at Presbyterian Camps in Saugatuck, Michigan.
Beginning on a Friday evening and concluding after lunch on Sunday, the camp weekened provides structured activities as well as plenty of downtime to spend with your family, all with wonderful moments of learning and inspiration along the way.

Our Camp Activities
On Saturday morning, planned programs engage adults and children separately, after which there is a group service project led by camp staff. The afternoon is free for going to the beach, taking a nap, archery, going into town, or—in fall—taking part in apple picking. Late Saturday afternoon is a family time called “Loaves and Fishes.” A climb up Mount Baldy after dinner (there may be an earlier climb after lunch) and a campfire on the beach will end the day.
Sunday morning we worship, with Communion, in the outdoor chapel, and afterwards there are planned activities for the children while parents pack. Our time at camp draws to a close after lunch.

Accommodations
Some heated all-weather cabins, which include a full bath and are reserved for families with children under age two, are shared by one or two families. Most cabins are unheated, with sink and toilet only. Hot showers are available in the main camp building.

Transportation
Families are responsible for their own transportation to and from the camp. However, those who need a ride are encouraged to indicate that on their registration form, as whenever possible we match those families with families who indicate they have room to take additional passengers.
