Anything else I should know?
On Saturday evening we do family skits so we can get to know each other. These should last between 1 - 3 minutes and can be funny or serious. We will let you know what our theme is after you register!
Dressing up: Many families like to dress up for our skits and dance based on our theme, this is 100% optional, don't feel like you need to go out and buy anything!
Secret Families: On Friday, you will draw a family name out of a hat. Throughout the weekend you will pray for them, make them posters, and on Sunday you will make a small gift for them. You DO NOT need to bring anything from home for this. We want everything to be from nature and the craft box we bring.

Who can go? Does my whole family have to attend?
We welcome families of all sizes and ages! No child is too young, and no adult is too old - there are activities for everyone! We also encourage individuals, whose families can't attend, to form families of friends! We are also willing to find a family to adopt you for the weekend!
