Family Vacation Camp at Wente Scout Reservation offers fun and exciting activities for people of all ages. Archery and BB gun are great for everybody. The rifle, and shotgun ranges offer a rousing challenge for older campers. Remember to stop by the craft area where you can make something that will always remind you of the good times you had at Family Vacation Camp. And don't forget about all our activities at the lake!
The trading post will offer ice cream, candy, and snacks. There are a variety of items in our trading post including Wente merchandise.
Like most national, state, or private campgrounds, you will be sleeping in tents. Families are encouraged to use the canvas camp tents. There are limited sites for bringing your own tents. ALL sites are assigned when you arrive at camp. Large groups of 50 or more wishing to camp together can be assigned a site in advance otherwise all accommodations are first come, first served upon arrival at camp. Hot showers and restrooms are nearby each of the campsites.
A great choice of two Food Plans are available. First - - Bring your own food to cook/prepare in your campsite. All food should be stored securely at night. Second - - eat like the Scouts at summer camp enjoying prepared meals in the Dining Hall. Varied and nutritious meals are available for a very reasonable fee. The Meal Plan begins with Saturday breakfast and ends with Sunday dinner.
Friday Pizza Dinner and/or Monday Continental Breakfast are available for separate purchase regardless of Meal Plan choice.
Saturday join us a traditional CAMPFIRE...sign-up at camp if you'd like to perform a skit or lead a song.
Sunday evening there is an ICE CREAM SOCIAL - a tradition of many years at Family Camp – Everyone in camp is welcome to attend.
Registration closes at 11 a.m. on Aug 30 or when camp is filled.
