For generations, families and friends have gathered at Stayner Camp, building lasting memories and strengthening their faith. With activities for all ages, time to relax and connect, and a focus on growing together spiritually, Stayner continues to be a place of renewal and community.
Family Camp runs for 15 days, divided into three segments. Stop by the office at the start of your stay for a program guide with everything on the schedule.
Stayner Camp relies on donations, with an opportunity to give at each evening session. Some special events have a small fee ($2 or more).
There are several great options for where to stay during family camp! Bring a tent or trailer and choose from one of our numerous available campsites serviced with hydro and water. We also have several rustic cabins with 4 bunks in each, as well as our new refurbished family cabins! You may also choose to enjoy the convenience of a fully furnished Lodge room.
Delicious meal service is available throughout family camp in our dining hall. Enjoy home-cooked meals while eating with and meeting new friends. Menus are available in early July. Gluten free options are offered upon request. Guests staying in cabins or at campsites have the option of outdoor cooking (many campers bring a dining tent and camping stove), delicious and healthy meals from our amazing kitchen team, or any number of local restaurants.
