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

When you register online, you will be able to list your first, second and third preference for a campsite. 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.

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.
