Family Camp

Rest and reconnect beneath the Redwoods

Family registration is now full. To join the waitlist, please click “Register My Family for Camp” and fill out the form so that we can let you know if space becomes available.

Designed with fun and restoration in mind, Family Camp offers a weekend in the redwoods full of family connection, parent respite, and meaningful experiences for every age. Family Camp is a special weekend designed for foster, adoptive, relative caregiver, and kinship families to have fun, reconnect, and be refreshed together.

Throughout the weekend, families will enjoy time in nature, family team activities, and creative fun like decorating cabins, shirts, and banners—building memories and strengthening bonds together. Children will experience a true “kids camp” atmosphere with counselors and age-appropriate activities, while parents are invited into moments of rest, pampering, and powerful breakout sessions that pour life and encouragement into their unique journeys. Space is limited, and registration is first-come, first-served —so don’t miss this opportunity to fill your family’s buckets with joy, rest, and meaningful connection. We can’t wait to welcome you to camp.

Join us July 31-August 2
at Redwood Christian Park
in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Family Camp is designed for families whose story includes foster care, adoption, relative care, or kinship care—whether that growth is permanent or temporary. If your family has grown through fostering or adoption, this camp was created with you in mind.

Registration requires at least one adult and one child per family.

Family Camp is meant to be shared by kids and the adults who care for them.
While there are scheduled activity times for kids, and breakout sessions for parents and caregivers, it’s a true family experience.

Your registration fee covers all meals for the weekend (dinner Friday through lunch Sunday), lodging, camp amenities, and all programming for both kids and caregivers.

Registration: $100 per person

If you need financial assistance, please fill out this scholarship form. Please note: camp registration is now full.

Redwood Christian Park is nestled in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains along the California coast, offering a peaceful retreat among towering redwoods. The campus provides easy access to hiking and biking trails, charming nearby towns, and beautiful beaches.

Families will bunk together as a family unit in one of our reserved cabins, each sleeping 3–9 people. Every cabin is equipped with heat and a private bathroom, including a vanity and shower, for a rustic but comfortable stay. Families of three or fewer may be asked to share a cabin with another family, depending on registration response and space availability. If you have a family in mind you’d like to bunk with, there will be space to list them during registration.

*Towels and bedding not included

Your time at Family Camp is intentionally designed as a balanced blend of respite, adult general sessions, family free time, structured childcare, and optional caregiver breakout sessions, all woven into one refreshing weekend. We understand how important it is for caregivers to step away, rest, and be encouraged, and we’ve built the schedule with that in mind.

During adult main sessions and designated breakout times, children will enjoy a true “kids camp” experience, led by trauma-informed and trained volunteers and counselors through engaging, intentional activities. Kids will be placed in groups by age to ensure their games and activities are developmentally appropriate, while teens will have their own unique camp experience, with space to connect with peers and participate in activities that are meaningful, fun, and designed just for them. All age groups will also include Christian Bible teachings, shared in thoughtful and engaging ways that are suited to each age group.

Outside of scheduled sessions, families will have plenty of time to enjoy being together and explore all that Redwood Christian Park has to offer, including hiking trails, a pool, a rock climbing wall, playgrounds, and more.

Programming for parents and caregivers is to be determined and will be shaped in part by registration responses. There will be main sessions, led by a Christian, Trauma-Informed speaker. Our vision is to provide a wide range of opportunities to connect or be refreshed, whether that’s strengthening couple communication, participating in prayer and worship, or slowing down through rest and pampering. All breakout sessions are optional, allowing you to choose what best supports your family and season of life.

Join the Fun

Camp is the place to get encouraged.

Families can look forward to activities like swimming, ropes courses, Family Olympics, nature play, creative experiences, and more—all in a supportive environment that intentionally balances quality parent respite with meaningful family time. Our hope is that every family leaves feeling refreshed, strengthened, and connected.

Camp Dates: July 31 – August 2
