Your Family's New Favorite Weekend
We’ve got all the best parts of summer camp. Bonfires. Hanging by the lake. New friends. And we’re adding sessions that will make Camp Voyage even more meaningful for your family.
Camp Voyage will kick off with a fun-filled Friday night all-camp welcome. Then you’ll spend the weekend living it up with camp activities and time to learn new skills. We’ll wrap up on Sunday with farewells and a marshmallow toast to memories made!
Doesn’t your family need a weekend away from the everyday?
