Seasonal Family Camps

The following list is a small compilation of seasonal camps that offer weeks or weekends specifically for family and/or single parent families. Jennifer Wolf with About.com says, "When was the last time you were able to get away for a weekend? Imagine spending quality time with the kids in a totally different setting, where you could enjoy one another's company and get away from the day-to-day pressures, routines, and responsibilities of home? If that sounds good to you, consider attending a Single Parent Family Camp in your area. Most of the camps that offer single parent weekends also provide workshops and a variety of recreational activities for the whole family. Some camps even offer scholarships or financial assistance. You'll notice that some of the camps listed here are run by faith-based organizations. In most cases, these single parent family camps are open to all single parents, and are not limited to one faith or denomination."
