All children registered for Family Camp must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Family Camps take place at our Peterson Bay Field Station across Kachemak Bay. This is a semi-remote location, accessed only by boat.
A few weeks from the camp's start date, you'll receive an introductory email from the program leader detailing packing lists and schedules. At minimum, your family will need to bring sleeping bags, rain gear, good walking shoes, water bottles, and day packs.
If you chose to just pay the deposit when you booked, you can stop by the office, contact our bookkeeper, or mail a check to pay the balance due. This must be done before the first day of camp. If not paid by then, the credit card on file will be charged the remaining balance.
