Family Camp

Family Camp is spending time together in the quiet and natural beauty of Good Earth Village. It is designed to give your family time to play, worship and talk together. Our hope is that your family will be renewed in your time together and that you'll have a great time participating in "camp life" with our staff. As a family, you'll share meals together (no cooking or dishes involved!), worship together, play together and grow in your faith together.

Each day will include opportunities for worship and Bible Study. Good Earth Village invites pastors from around the area to lead a Bible Study time for adults. These sessions are times for sharing, listening and gaining new insight on familiar, and perhaps not so familiar, Bible stories. The Good Earth Village summer staff will lead morning worship and evening campfires, which provide music and messages for all ages.   

Daily activities include:

  • Hiking
  • Games
  • Canoe trips
  • Arts and Crafts time
  • Adult and Youth Bible Study sessions
  • Trout fishing
  • Helping take care of the farm animals
  • Night hikes
  • Canteen
  • Worship

While we will have many activities planned, you are also welcome to explore the surrounding area and communities. Good Earth Village is only a short drive from the Root River Bike Trail, various golf courses, Forestville State Park, Mystery Cave and the scenic towns of Lanesboro and Harmony. Feel free to take an afternoon or evening to go biking, shopping, golfing, caving or exploring. The Good Earth Village staff are also available to watch your children if you would like to take a few hours of adult time.    

WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US!
