Family Camp Weekends

Come to camp for a weekend of quality family time in your own cabin at the lake! All ten cabins have a living area, 2-3 bedrooms, 1-2 bathrooms, a microwave, toaster, coffee, mini-fridge, and upgraded mattresses! Use the links below to read more about each specific cabin.

As a gift to our families, we intentionally keep the cost of these weekends much lower than you’ll find at other Lutheran camps in Minessota. Many families come solo for personal time, while others come with friends or family for a bit of a reunion vibe. If desired, we can help oint you to a weekend with families and kids of similar ages, or who are from the same church or schools. Each weekend is hosted by a St. Andrew pastor or staff member with a fun and formational theme!

Activity Options

You can opt in for as many activities as you want picking from swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, pontooning, campfire singing, arts and crafts, closing worship and more! Our college camp staff will lead activities for the kids for two hours on Saturdays so that parents can gather and relax.

Single Cabin -or- Shared Cabin

The prices below are the cost to fully reserve the whole cabin. Families are not housed with other families unless you request that. Families who decide to share a cabin can split costs on their own.

Family Camp Matcher

You can use this initial Family Camp Matcher form to express interest and receive a suggested weekend with families and children of similar ages and interests.

To register for a family camp session, please start by loging into an existing camp account or creating a new account to register for a family camp.
