Let's hear it for the American Laborers, and the Red, White, and Blue! Kids of all ages are invited to decorate their bikes for Labor Day and participate in the parade. Participants will line up in front of the Dining Hall on Saturday at 10:45 am. The parade will end at the Administration Building (Camp Office) with free ice cream.

Join us for some knee-slapping entertainment as The Bean Boys take center stage at the Multi-Purpose Building on Saturday at 7:00 pm.

Sunday Service 10 am: 

Bruce Slagle will deliver the message on Sunday. Bruce retired in July 2025 after nearly 20 years of service at Heath Church of Christ. Sunday worship will be led by the KCU Worship Collective-a group of students who lead glorifying worship services on and off the campus of Kentucky Christian University.

 

For those registered to attend Family Camp, the earliest you may arrive is 4:00 pm on Wednesday. Thank you in advance for honoring this timeline so that our staff can prepare the grounds for your arrival!

Please review our 1) Camping Policies and 2) Lakefront Policies (available to download at the bottom of this page) prior to arrival. All participants are required to wear wristbands for the duration of the retreat. Please pick up your wristbands at the camp store upon arrival. Thank you!

Before you register, we recommend reviewing the site map. Please note your first, second and third choice. You will indicate these on the registration.

 

General Information

Family Camp is a long-standing tradition at Round Lake, occurring twice each year during the Memorial and Labor Day Holiday Weekends. Family Camp is open to members of the camp's charter churches and their guests. This is a fun-filled weekend at the camp for the entire family. It is a great opportunity to join together with our brothers and sisters in Christ to relax, have fun and worship God together. Bring your own tent or RV to camp out on the grounds for the weekend. Guests provide all their own camping supplies and food. Firewood and ice are available to purchase at the event, or you may bring your own. Picnic tables and fire pits are available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis. 

 

Selecting Your Campsite

Some site numbers have been changed to accommodate increased interest in Family Camp. Please review the map prior to registering as the site number for your preferred site may have changed. When you register online, you will be able to list your first, second and third preference for a campsite.

Family Camp continues to grow in popularity, and we are excited to welcome so many families to Round Lake! When reasonably possible, returning participants will be given priority on their sites from the most recent Family Camp through the end of June. Returning participants are NOT guaranteed a specific spot, and Round Lake reserves the right to adjust sites to best serve the needs of all participants. We will do our best to accommodate your first, second or third site selection when reasonably possible, and we greatly appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we welcome new participants to the Round Lake family!

Setting Up & Checking In

When you arrive, you may set up at your assigned site. Please stop by the Camp Store during hours of operation to check-in and to pick up your wristbands. ALL REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS OVER THE AGE OF 2 ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR WRISTBANDS.

As usual, fire barrels will be available to grab, so feel free to help yourself to one of those. If you would like a picnic table or need to purchase ice or firewood, you may still do that in-person at the Camp Store after you arrive. You may also pick up your swim band if you are in 5th grade or older and have passed the swim test.
