Need a weekend away?
Considering a short Family Getaway this summer? Just like Family Camp, a Family Getaway at Fort provides your family an opportunity to step out of the ordinary and into the memorable. Learn more and make your plans to experience a Family Getaway this summer.
What is Summer Family Getaway
Family Getaway is a three-night summer retreat at Fort where your family can bond deeply, grow closer to God, and play all day long. You will be surprised what three nights can do. You may consider making your getaway at Fort a long term tradition. If you long for a place where your kids and grandkids can safely roam and make friends, Fort’s a great choice.
Activities Open
You can come to camp and plan out your schedule to be jam-packed every minute, or you can plan to relax and nap under the Northwoods’ canopy of trees. Camp activities are endless. Most everything is free, included with camp! If there is a charge, it is simply to cover the cost of materials.
More Than a Vacation
Daily you will have a time of worship and teaching. Children and teens (infant through high school) attend their own age-appropriate session while adults gather to worship together and listen to the week’s speaker. Expect to leave feeling encouraged and deeply connected.

Accommodation Pricing – 2024
What’s included you ask? Nearly everything! You can hit the waterfront to take out a kayak, do a flip off the rope swing and meet the animals in the nature center before heading over to the rock climbing tower and waterslide all without opening your wallet. Many activities are included, and when there is an extra charge, we work to keep prices low simply to cover costs. Plus, evenings bring a camp run activity to participate in. You’ll enjoy fry bread, family games, cowboy truth and more!
