Grandparents’ Family Camp

   Sept 7-9, 2012
  [Registration Form] 




Enjoy an opportunity to invest in the lives of your children and grandchildren. Good grand-parenting can help aim a child toward a God-honoring future.

The weekend is filled with activities and time together to play, laugh, talk and be in God’s Word.

One willing grandparent and one willing grandchild is all you need; after that, the whole family is welcome to join in the fun. Children must be at least six years of age.

Zipline (ages 12 and up) - Riflery – Fishing – Archery – Hayride – Handcrafts – AuSable River Canoe Trip – and lots more…
