Family Camps

Camp Mason family camps provide a wonderful opportunity to get away from it all and spend quality uninterrupted time with your family in a beautiful setting. With activities available all weekend and all of your meals cooked for you, your only worry is what to do first! Whether you choose to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting or scale the climbing wall, the weekend will certainly be one to remember.

Family camps at Mason keep families strong by providing a place and program that brings them together. They are designed to be ‘fun for the whole family’ weekends with activities that can be enjoyed either as a group or individually. Activities include boating and canoeing, archery, hiking, climbing wall, swimming (only on Memorial Day and Labor Day camps), sports, horse back riding (Labor Day only), and much, much more!.

Facilities:
Don’t worry. These ain’t your Grandfathers old camp tents! Our duplex cabins are heated and have full bathrooms on each side and bunk beds that hold up to 12 people per unit. Each unit, with private bath, will house one family for the weekend with some smaller families staying in single rooms in Spruce or Hillside Lodge. Village assignment choice is on a first come first served basis. Beds and mattresses are provided but you should bring either sleeping bags or sheets and blankets, pillows, etc. plus personal toiletries. Families bringing a dog must notify us in advance and will be assigned only to accommodation in areas with other dog owners, and only as space there permits.

 

Meals:
Leave the pots and pans at home! No one is stuck cooking or cleaning the dishes here. Meals are prepared by the the Camp Mason professional food service staff and served buffet style. Plenty to eat, and plenty of selection. No one goes hungry. All we ask is each family clear their own table after the meal. A cereal and salad bar is available at all meals.
