Family Camps

Friends & Family and Mother Child Camp

Our all-inclusive four day/ three night Friends & Family camps are for families, couples, friends, and individuals of any age looking to get away to Westwind!

Our all-inclusive four day/three night Mother Child Camps are for moms, stepmoms, aunts, grandmas, sisters, all/any female-identifying and mother-identifying parents or mentors, and children ages 3-13.

Family camps include programming for everyone! “Family Time” offers a wide variety of activities including arts & crafts, canoeing & kayaking, challenge course, hiking, GaGa ball, and so many more. During “Adult Time,” kids spend time with small, age specific groups that Westwind calls “color groups”. During color groups, kids spend time with their Westwind staff leader and choose from age specific activities. While the kids are exploring Westwind with their color groups, adults have time to get a massage, go on a hike, do adult oriented art projects, play games, or just sit on the beach and enjoy a good book. At each family camp, Westwind Teen Volunteer Babysitters come to assist with the kids both during the days and at night so adults can enjoy time together.

*Please note you will likely be sharing a cabin with another family due to our high numbers of participants and logistics surrounding lodging and keeping full families together. When assigning cabins, we do our best to match similar ages of children and honor all requests. If you have any questions regarding lodging or cabin assignments, please contact our office or email us at info@westwind.org.
