WACAP Family Camp: Updates

It’s time to mark your calendar and make reservations for the 31st annual WACAP Family Camp! Please join us Wednesday, July 30 through Sunday, August 3, 2008, at Sun Lakes Park Resort, located near Sun Lakes State Park on Highway 17, between Soap Lake and Coulee City, Washington. (Read more about Sun Lakes accommodations.)

This summer’s Family Camp is packed with familiar favorites and plenty of activities for tots to adults: Fashion Show, Talent Show, Outdoor Market, Teen Center, a variety of sports/games, Bingo, a Camp Dance, and much more! This year, we have added new activities, and have moved some of the events around to fully expand the Camp to five days.
WACAP Family Camp is now a
five-day event!
Families who register for the full camp (Wednesday through Sunday) will receive priority in booking. To give yourself the best chance of getting into Camp, as well as being assigned your preferred accommodation, please register early and sign up for all five days.
New Teen Center!
Most teens who come to the Teen Center are ages 13–15, so we have designed activities specifically around this age group. Teens 13 and older are welcome to participate. We think this change will better serve our Camp population.
New DVD of WFC 2007
We are again offering a DVD, with photos and video clips (accompanied by music) of last summer’s Camp. Make a great memory for you and your family by pre-ordering yours on the enclosed registration form, for only $10 each. All DVDs will be available at WFC 2008.
Smile!
Our goal is to have a family picture for everyone in the WFC Family Directory for 2008. Please e-mail a photo (no larger than 300 x 400 pixels) to or mail one (4 x 6 inches) to Kathi Bishop, 633 SE 2nd St., Hillsboro, OR, 97123. Include the names and ages of your children, and please write your name on the back of your photo if you’d like it returned. After scanning, your photo will be returned to you with your Final Packet at Camp. Final deadline for photos is 6/30/08.
Extending Your Stay
If you plan to stay extra days at Sun Lakes, you’ll need to coordinate your accommodations with both the Resort Office (509-632-5291) and Laura Gaukroger-Holland (509-667-1896); please call evenings only, before 9 p.m. or Sun Lakes Resort accepts mail reservations beginning 1/1/08 and phone requests beginning 2/1/08.
New Rates!
Although WACAP fully supports WFC, there are many hidden costs that have not been covered for several years. Rates have increased this year in order to help the Camp break even. We have cut back our Camp costs as much as possible to keep the increase reasonable. Please read the registration form closely for the new rates. To help offset some of the cost, there will be no additional “Teen Fee” for families with teens.
