Family Picture

"Growing Closer Together" is our theme for these vacation opportunities.  You can invest your family vacation time in making happy memories while learning to make your family even more successful. Each family will have its own table for the week in our dining room.  Come and leave the cooking and dishes behind and enjoy being served.  Register now for a vacation with a purpose!  Grandparents and single-parent families are welcome.  These weeks are family centered and open to families and their immediate relatives.  Due to the size of this ministry and the growing popularity of this program, we must limit each church group to 4 families per session.
 
Everyone will work on scripture memorization at their own pace.  We'll also have an emphasis on family devotions.
 
Housing: In addition to our cabins, there are areas for tents and campers.  In order to make this tremendous week available to anyone, we're charging $385.00 registration fee per family. (This fee covers approximately half of the cost for the average family.) Then at week's end, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to a non-pressure offering to cover expenses.
 
Meals: All meals and snacks are included.  We serve a wide variety of foods to meet all tastes at three buffets a day.  You'll be able to special order eggs, etc. at breakfast.  To make your morning more relaxed breakfast is now served from 7:30 - 8:30 am.
 
Here's a vacation where you can do as little or as much as you want at Maranatha!  Our daily schedule is structured just enough, but not too much.  Enjoy a good book, explore the pond by canoe or rowboat, climb a mountain, swim or relax in the warm sun while the children swim at Miracle Pond.
 

Friday night: Family Skit Night

 

Participants Comments:

"We'll never miss another year of family camp."

"I love this safe learning environment."

"Now I don't want to go anywhere else for vacation because I wouldn't feel like I'd had a vacation!"

 

Teaching Sessions:  Young people will learn right along side their parents during these practical sessions.  We encourage all to take notes and ask questions.  There is a question and answer time at the end of each session.

Mornings:  Our relaxed morning schedule includes a 7:30 - 8:30 hearty breakfast followed by a practical Bible study. You'll find these studies especially helpful including a time for questions and answers. Note: we provide baby care during these sessions.  We also offer optional short project times i.e. cleaning, raking, etc.

Afternoons:  Afternoons are free for family times together.  You may rest, visit with another family, swim, go fishing, canoeing, kayaking or row boating.  You can even try out one of our pedal cars.  There are several places to enjoy nearby including two mountains to hike, a large fish hatchery and a cedar forest.  Within a half hour traveling distance are some of New Hampshire's inviting vacation activities.  Lake Winnipesaukee is just 10 minutes away.  We will pack you a lunch if you will be away.

Evenings:  Our evening Bible Study immediately follows supper to make an early evening for your children.  This gives teens and adults time to enjoy other activities.  We offer a number of other evening activities including Nature Night Walks, a talent show, a music program with puppets.  One evening we'll have a dress-up dinner.

Camp Sites:  We offer full hook-ups for your RV in a beautiful wooded area.  Sites include 30 amp service, water and sewer.

His Club - For 3-7 year olds:  We know that basically, if your children are happy and well taken care of, then you'll be happy!  Younger children 3-7 years old always  leave here with glowing reports of how they enjoyed the "His Club" meetings.  These are offered during the a.m. and p.m. Bible studies.  We'll do our best to help you care for those under age 3.  His Club is offered as an option.  Those families wishing to keep their children with them are welcome.

Dress Code: We ask that each guest dress modestly.
