Labor Day Family Conference |
|
The Labor Day Conference is time for the whole family to get away from the busyness of the city and enjoy fun in a camping environment. This is a laid back time with programs in the morning for the kids while adult sessions are led by our speaker. Each afternoon there is free time to sleep or play followed by family activities that night. The conference is full of crazy camp fun such as ropes course, horses, camp fires, boat activities, pool, and much more.
