Each Fall and Spring, Family Weekends at Painted Turtle give children with medical conditions and their families the opportunity to retreat to nature, spend time together as a family, and experience many exciting program areas including fishing and boating, ropes course, horses, arts and crafts, woodshop, swimming, performing arts, science and discovery, and more!

Other highlights include camp-wide events such as campfires, a carnival, and skit night. Also included are opportunities for parent discussions and socials, enabling parents to extend support to one to another, share stories, and connect with other parents who have similar experiences.

Our dedicated community of volunteers serve as “Pals” to our families throughout the weekend, welcoming our families to camp, helping to engage campers in laughter and play, and giving families the best weekend possible! For individuals interested in Volunteering at a Family Weekend, click here.
