Family Camp 2011
Autumn Ridge provides a unique opportunity for you and your family to get to know others from Autumn Ridge in the beautiful setting at Fort Wilderness. It is a great week of fun, friends and food; sharing meals, talking over a cup of coffee or tea, playing games or sitting around a campfire are some of the great ways to get to know people from Autumn Ridge Church. Fort Wilderness is located in the pristine woods and lakes of Northeastern Wisconsin and we have exclusive use of the camp for the week with room for about 270 people.
A typical day includes a continental breakfast, morning worship/teaching time (children’s and youth ministry are provided by camp staff), leisure lunch and open afternoons. Supper is good food with good company (and no dishes to wash!). Evenings have a mix of activities you can participate in: large group games (which are really fun), campfires, board games, or star gazing on the dock.
There are things to do for everyone. Sail on the lake. Take a nap. Kneeboard. Tube down the river. Swing off the Bipod. Bike the trails (watch out for the horse droppings!) or the area bike routes. Take a class with “Nature Man”. Compete in the archery tournament (be Robin Hood and win a premium ice-cream cone!). Try out the .22 rifle range. Join in on an afternoon of paintball. The list goes on…
