Details

   Family Camp is where fun, connection, support, adventure, learning and transformation come together in a unique immersion training/family vacation experience. Join families and staff from around the world on our 26-acre family heritage farm with nearby beach access on beautiful Vashon Island, WA.

By offering each other our support and presence we'll dip into what it’s like to live in a world where the intention is to contribute to the quality of connection necessary to meet everyone’s needs.  We'll explore how it is to be compassionate with ourselves, our children/youth/teens and each other, while living in supportive community with other families. We carry the hope that you'll be able to extend your experience at camp into your daily lives by fostering the connections you have made.

We have the great fortune again this year of holding Family Camp at the Farmstad on Vashon Island. The Dolstad farm property holds 26 acres of fields, orchards, a stream and two forests - much of which is ours to explore.  There is beach access nearby to the shores of Puget Sound and plenty of room to frolic.

Cancellations and Refunds:

   We understand that life presents choices and that cancellations are an option.  And, on the organizing end, we're making financial commitments: hiring staff, purchasing materials and food based on registration numbers. We designed the following cancellation policy to make Family Camp an affordable, fair and sustainable experience for all!

For cancellations before June 1, we will refund whatever you've paid, minus a $75 "fuss and bother" fee.  We might even wave that if the Registrar is moved by your situation.  Hint: matters of convenience don't carry much weight with your Registrar.  

For cancellations between June 1 and July 1, we'll refund whatever you've paid, minus a $300 fee, as we've incurred a lot of non-refundable costs by that time.

For cancellations after July 1, we will keep your tuition as a tax-deductible donation to camp, as most of our camp costs have been committed by then based on our registration numbers.  Or, if you find a family to replace yours, you can negotiate with them to do so.  We'll still keep $300 for the same reason as listed above.
