Summer Family and Adult Programs

Camp sessions for all ages!

 
   

Join us in the summer of 2012 for a wonderful time away with family and friends!

Good News! We have held the line on camp fees this year...NO PRICE INCREASE!

We want to help you out in a tight economy. In return, we NEED YOU to bring a friend to camp with you this year to balance out the real increases we see in operational expenses such as food, insurance, and staffing. PLEASE be our ambassadors and encourage your friends, co-workers, and neighbors to attend camp with you this summer!

Family Camps at Camp Onomia are the real "All Inclusive" vacation experiences. Food, Fun Activities, Faith, Friends, and Fellowship...
Our summer staff spend two weeks in training before campers arrive. We strive to provide your child a positive Christian role model who will be a good friend, teacher, and mentor in faith. Lodging options include high comfort private rooms in our Retreat Center, General accommodations with community bathrooms in the Dorms, or campout with your tent or trailer! Fees include appropriate meals and program. We have just what you need!

Follow these quick jumps to other age groups you are seeking:  Elementary      High School

Family Camp Programs: Week and Weekends with something for everyone!

Family Camps at Camp Onomia offer you an exceptional value for your summer vacation time.

Looking for a family week where everything is taken care of for you?
Seeking a place where Christian community...
worship, Bible study, and proper role models for the kids... is a high priority?
Need a place to put your boat in and wet some worms?
You will find it here!
Although all activities are optional, you will probably want to partake of all the activities a summer at the lake offer. Ample swim, boating, and beach time is combined with supervised activities like camp crafts and games for the kids. You can join us in a trip over to Kathio State Park for a climb up the fire tower or a nature study with the park naturalist. How about a family canoe trip down the Rum River?  You can even take a bike trip down the Soo Line Bike Trail. Daily chapel, Bible studies for all age groups, and evening sunset songfests at the Campfire Cross are a great way to make this family outing something significant as an important way to pass on the faith to the next generation of believers, your children!

Make the time this summer to spend some quality time with your family. Camp Onomia family camps are intergenerational, so bring the whole family. Invite the grandparents too! Some families have found this place to be a wonderful place to reunite the whole family; brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles are all welcome here.
Single, windowed, married without children?
You will find a welcoming community at camp this summer.

CROSS TREK- the Bike Tour  youth grades 9 and up through adult - June 24-29, 2012




 
Are you a cyclist or just like riding your bike? Here is the trip for you!

Cross Trek is a bike tour for high school youth and adults which will cover between 30 and 60 miles per day. We travel bike trails and back-roads through central Minnesota, supported by a van which hauls your gear, water, and food. This tour is a small group experience, traveling by bike by day and camping out in tents and on church floors by night. Camp Onomia staff lead you safely to your next destination, and the van is always behind you if you flat or need a lift. Campers should have some biking experience and able to physically ride the distance each day. Along the way you will enjoy the scenery and tremendous friendships and camaraderie. What makes this bike tour different is we also bring our Christian faith into the conversation though daily devotions and evening Faith talks. So invite your riding partner, get some prep miles in this spring, and get your bike ready for a ride around Mille Lacs this summer!
This program begins and returns to Camp Onomia.
Begins Sunday 7 PM
Ends Friday 1 PM
 

Register Now!

 

Fee per Camper: $380. Member church early discounted fee if registered by March 15th: $330*
