Family Camp
Family camp provides an opportunity for parents and kids to enjoy camp together.
Running Saturday through Monday, Labor Day weekend, some parents have found this opportunity a great way to introduce camp to their young children. And campers love this chance to share camp with their parents and younger siblings, other family, or friends.
Daytime activities will include hikes, swimming, use of the potter's wheel, various crafts, games and shared meal preparations and clean up.
There will be unscheduled times that many children will spend on the tire swing, wading in the creek and playing tetherball. Older folks may wish to take quiet walks, go help in the garden, read, or simply watch what all is happening. We will prepare meals together, play, explore the property, have group activities and adequate free time. Each day's activities will begin and end with the whole group gathering for a short time of quiet meditation. Evening campfires, singing, storytelling and stargazing end each day. The weekend begins with Saturday lunch. It ends after breakfast on Monday with a closing group gathering. Camp Woodbrooke will provide leadership, lifeguard, mattresses for bunks, meals and a good time for all.

Sleeping bags, pillows, towel, toiletries, swimsuit, flashlight, bug spray, at least one pair long pants and closed shoes (for walking in the woods), water bottle and hat. Don't forget that evenings can be cooler that late in the season. Musical instruments are welcome. Some people may prefer to bring tents for sleeping. Otherwise there are six open-sided cabins each with eight bunks and floor space. There is a showerhouse with flush toilets, showers and warm water. Our facilities are simple and rustic.
