Forest Lake Camp has always been a place of magic. The laughter echoing across the lake. 
The crackle of a campfire at night. The joy of running barefoot across the fields. Now, it’s your turn to return…not just as a camper, but with your family by your side.
Family Camp is your chance to relive those cherished summers while sharing the magic with your children. Lodging, meals, and activities are all included, making it an incredible value, a true steal. With more days at camp, Family Camp gives you the time to truly experience everything Forest Lake has to offer.
Here are three irresistible reasons to choose Family Camp:
1. More Time to Do Everything
Unlike the short Alumni Weekend, Family Camp lasts a full week. That means there’s time for everything you love: archery, horseback riding, hiking trails, off-camp trips, and evening bonfire skits. You won’t have to choose between activities—you can do it all, at your own pace, while making unforgettable memories with your family.
2. Try Exciting New Adventures
Family Camp is packed with brand-new activities that add even more fun. Test your skills on the climbing wall. Feel the thrill of zipping through the trees. Explore mountain biking trails. Dive into elevated arts and crafts. It’s the perfect chance to try something new—or rediscover an old favorite.
3. The Perfect Lead-In to Alumni Weekend
Family Camp is the ultimate warm-up for Alumni Weekend. After a full week of adventures, reconnect with old friends, sing songs, share stories, and celebrate the traditions that make Forest Lake legendary. Alumni Weekend is fun, but Family Camp gives you the space and time to fully immerse yourself in camp life.
Everything is included, so you can focus on making memories. Paddle on the lake, hike the trails, or simply relax while your kids explore. Evening programs bring everyone together for songs, games, and campfires, creating shared memories for the entire family.
Returning as a parent gives you a new perspective. You’ll see camp through your children’s eyes while reliving the experiences that shaped your childhood. You’ll share traditions, create new memories, and introduce your family to a place you’ve loved for years.
Don’t wait, spots are limited!
Return to Forest Lake this summer. Relive the magic, try new adventures, and prepare for an unforgettable Alumni Weekend. Family Camp isn’t just a visit, it’s a full immersion in the Forest Lake experience.
