Family Camp

Would you like to take a week away with the family of God? Whether you are single or married, young or old (or in between), you are invited to join us at Silver Bay’s magnificent campus on Lake George, NY for Family Camp July 6-11, 2026. Camp is called “Family Camp” because it is designed for the family of God. It is not just for families. Everyone is invited. (For more about Silver Bay, see their website here.)

Enjoy solid biblical teachings, moving worship, interesting workshops, and a stellar children’s program. You’ll have lots of free time for prayer, and tons of optional fun activities, all in the beauty of the Adirondack mountains and gorgeous Lake George! 

Register by Room
The way registration works, you pay for your room(s) separately.  As Silver Bay has restructured how they charge, we have had to do the same. 

We must release any unbooked rooms by Sunday, March 1, 2026.  You can still register after this date, but there is no guarantee that specific rooms will be available. Prices will increase by $20 per person after the March 1st deadline. The final date to register is Friday, May 1, 2026. Don’t wait to register, do it now!

Roommates lower your cost
If you’re a single person, having a roommate will cut your housing cost in half.  And it can be a great time to get to know others. If you have specific person you want to room with, let us know in your registration. We cannot guarantee finding roommates in each building, but we will do our best. You must be prepared to pay the full cost of the room in the event that your roommate cancels or if we can’t find one for you. When you register, you will be billed for the full cost of the room, but we will refund you half if you have a roommate at the time camp begins.

To register, you need to
1. Add the people who are coming. Cost is determined by age. 2. Select your room(s). Specify if you have a specific roommate or need help getting one. Remember…these prices are per room and you can fit 2-3 people per room.

Dates
The deadline for early bird prices is Friday, March 1.  The final deadline to register is May 1. Camp will run from the Monday evening meal (July 6) through Saturday lunch (July 11). Please note family camp starts on Monday not Sunday this year! Various price options are available based on your housing choice.

What To Bring
When you are at Silver Bay, there is a lot of physical activity and walking throughout the expansive campus.  Temperatures drop at night and in the early morning but can be quite hot in the afternoon.  Plan to bring walking shoes that are comfortable and layers to accommodate all temperatures. Bring a bathing suit for swimming. You may borrow sporting equipment like basketballs, baseball gloves, and tennis rackets from the equipment center. Additionally, bring a Bible and notebook if you would like to take notes during the teachings.

Daily Schedule
Each day our adult and children’s (5-12 year olds) programs run simultaneously from 9am to 12pm. Afternoons are free, though we do have an optional sport each day at 2pm as well as an optional class at 4pm. Evening meetings are from 7pm to 9pm. Some nights we have evening activities available for those interested. Also we have prayer times daily at 7:45am (morning prayer) and 5:30pm (camp watch).

Afternoon Activities
Silver Bay provides access to kayaks, Sunfish sailboats, paddle boards, and rowboats. Several hiking trails are a short walk from the campus. Additionally, there are clay tennis courts, pickleball courts, volleyball courts, and outdoor basketball courts. There is also a gym that has weights, cardio equipment, a basketball court, and a rock-climbing wall. Silver Bay also has a sand beach with lifeguards, two disc golf courses, archery, and a craft shop. See here for more information.

Our Children’s Program (5-12 year olds)
We put on our own children’s fellowship program full of activities designed for those five to twelve, and it will be held during adult meeting time.  The children will be learning the Bible, praying, and singing along with crafts and physical activities. If you have any questions or need more information, please email the program coordinator, Ruth Finnegan, at ruth.finnegan@gmail.com.

Silver Bay’s Children’s Program (3-4 year-olds)
Silver Bay offers a morning program for children 3 and 4 year olds from 8:15 – 11:15 a.m., Monday through Friday. An additional charge is required per child and payable directly to Silver Bay. If you have children this age, you must register for child watch at Silver Bays’ “Silver Camp” directly. More information is available here. The deadline for registering for Silver Bay’s children’s camp is two weeks prior to arrival. To get the early bird price, registration must be completed even earlier. Please bring a paper copy of your registration and immunization form to the Silver Camp the first day.  This is helpful if the YMCA staff loses our information, which has happened in the past. 

Informal Playgroup for children 4 and under
This is run by parents and volunteers organized by Grace Fitzsimmons. If you are interested in your child(ren) joining this group during the morning adult meeting times or if you would like to volunteer, please contact Grace at digital@lhim.org.

Housing and acceptance to attend Family Camp are at the discretion of the registrar.
