I would say without a doubt that Family Camp is one of the best vacation bargains ever. It's a wonderful way to relax and spend time with your family without sweating ANY details. It's like a resort with private beach access--with the added bonus of the Christian community. I loved having the "village raising the children" for 4 days--and wish it could have been longer. (But we would have had to go buy more sunscreen.)With families spread out by time and space, Family camp offers a setting to reconnect in a very easy way. We loved it and can't wait to go back.

Thank you, Alice Sneary

Our family attended Mustang Island Family Camp for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Our two year old daughter continues to ask if she can go to "Mustang Island" almost daily. We were not sure how she would react to the ocean, but she seemed to run everywhere and was entertained inside and out. It was our first real experience on the beach with our daughter and we look forward to next summer.

I attended 2 family camp weekends this summer.  Both of my children and their respective offspring thoroughly enjoyed their stay.  The length is perfect.  The day is scheduled very well around normal “nap” times for both kids and parents and grandparents.  The BEST thing is being at the beach and having so many kids play and enjoy the beauty of the ocean/sand/waves/water with one another.  It goes without mention that the food is superb and the hospitality genuine.  It is having the simple things at their best that makes family camp such a success.  Good food, good beds, good showers, good people, good God. 

Thanks, Sandy Casey-Martus
