Family Camp

What is Family Camp?

Family Camp is the ultimate opportunity to experience the magic of summer camp at Akita as a family! Through a specifically designed program, each family will be led through a weekend by the Akita staff that includes a good balance of family time, kid interaction, adult socializing, off-the-wall fun, and the stillness of a spiritual retreat. Getting outside of the city will allow us all to turn the cell phones off, leave our computers, and enjoy valuable time as a family.
