Alaska District Family Camp: June 30 to July 4, 2023
The Church of the Nazarene Alaska District invites their neighbours in Whitehorse to join them for their annual Famliy Camp at Camp Maranatha (Big Lake, Alaska).
Located about an hour from Anchorage, the district runs and operates a beautiful and well equiped campground, complete with meeting spaces, many cabins, a comfortable lodge, large dining room, a gymnasium and a playground for children.
Family Camp has many different aspects to it; including times to worship, times for fun and games plenty of free time, activities for children, amazing food, and, (among many other things) their cardboard boat race.
Family Camp will cost $132 per person (under 5 years is free). This pretty much covers 11 meals and the program for the weekend. If you stay in one of their cabins or bring your own tent or RV, there is no additional cost. If you wish to stay in the lodge (a comfortable room with two single beds and your own washroom) there is an additional cost of $80 for each single bed being used.
Travel arrangements to the camp are up to each person. If there is at least 8 adults willing to chip in $100 each for fuel, it is possible that we can take the church bus. If we have more than 8 people interested in taking the bus, the cost per adult will likely be less (depending on the actual fuel costs and the number of people going). Of course, participants are welcome to take their own vehicle if they desire.
Camp starts on Friday June 30 with dinner (usually 6 pm) and ends with breakfast on July 4.
If you are travelling in your own vehicle, you can stay in the area (at a hotel, or public campground) for as long as you like, maybe take the rest of the week touring parts of Alaska.
Please see this link for Pastor Norman's explanation of why Family Camp should become a part of your family's annual plans.
