Family Camp

Memorial Day Weekend: Friday May 24th – Monday May 27th

Our Family Camp follows the traditions and values set forth at Eden Village, with a distinct family flavor. It is full of activity, fun and relaxation: organic farm-to-table living, animal care, swimming, boating, hiking, yoga, meditation, arts and crafts of all kinds, singing, campfires, herbalism, a zero-waste goal, learning about local ecosystems and wild edible/medicinal plants, caving, strolling, storytelling, helping prepare outstanding organic Kosher food, and of course eating it! Members of our summer staff will help guide the experience. Experience the traditions of Eden Village with a distinct family flavor! More information…
