Memorial Day Family Camp

REGISTRATION FOR FAMILY CAMP WILL OPEN March 24th at 10am

Join us for Family Camp!

Come enjoy the opportunity to reconnect with nature and your family at Camp Burgess & Hayward’s Family Camp! The weekend away serves to reinforce family ties, while creating memories that last a lifetime. Memorial Day Family Camp runs May 24-26, 2025.

We provide healthy meals, comfortable lodging, and unique staff-led programming that will appeal to all ages. At the end of a fun-filled day, we invite you to relax beside the campfire, free from cell phones and to-do lists, to enjoy the company of your loved ones, and take in the beauty of the natural world.

A New Addition to Family Camp:

In addition to our traditional Memorial Day Family Camp (Saturday – Monday), we have added a Family Day Trip option! Family Day Trip allows you and your family to join us for just the day on either Saturday or Sunday of Memorial Day weekend; a great option if you already have a packed Memorial Day weekend but still want to spend a day with the Camp Burgess & Hayward community!

ACTIVITIES

Activities include Archery, Canoeing, Kayaking, Swimming, Climbing Tower, Basketball, Gaga Ball, Tetherball, Arts & Crafts, and More!

Evening activities include Night Hikes, Sunset Tours on the Pond on our pontoon boats, and Outdoor Movie Nights.
