Family camps
The family camp is a weekend-long camp directed at families with children. The camp gives an opportunity to take a break from the day-to-day life and be with your own family without hurry, and also share moments together with other families.
Information about the family camps
The family camp is primarily intended for families with children in the Seinäjoki area. Priority is given to families attending the family camp for the first time. However, if you have participated before, you can still sign up.
What are we going to do at the family camp?
At family camps, children spend time outside, make crafts, play, go to the sauna, sing and do activities. At the end of the day, we join in silence for the evening prayer, and on Sunday, at the end of the camp, we join in a family Mass inside the camp church.
Meals and accomodation
At camp, we have accommodation for families with their own shower and toilet. Meals are included in the price, so that your family can come to a set table.
How much does joining the family camp cost?
The family camp fee is:
- €45 per adult who is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
- €60 per adult who is not a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
- €32 for one child.
- €24 per child for additional siblings.
- No camp fee is charged for children under 4 years of age.
We reserve the right to make changes.
Application period
The application for the camps starts around a month before the start of the camp and is done through the parish’s website. The family camp’s finalisation is always confirmed on a later date.
