Uplift Family Camp

Uplift Family Camp offers a time for growth, reflection, and deep inner transformation for families. Kids leave with a new sense of confidence, new friends, and transformative experiences they will remember forever. 

Here is some of what participants have said about the experience: 

  • “Our kids chose to come back to Uplift family camp instead of going to Disneyland.” — Lani (parent)
  • “My kids still talk about family camp at least once a week, more than six months later. They loved it so much!” — Lindsey (parent)
  • “The first thing my kids said when they got in the car to head home was, ‘Can we do this again next year?'” — Elizabeth (parent) 
  • “It was a wonderful stay, and one of the best weeks of summer. I really appreciate it. Also, INCREDIBLE food. Absolutely wonderful.” — Rowan (teen)
  • “Amanda is an amazing leader and you guys did an amazing job putting this event together. I want to do this every year!” — Quinn (kid)
  • “It was a beautiful, safe, fun, spiritual, and heart/mind opening experience.” — Vance (parent)
  • “Next time I will come for 10 days.” — Daisy (kid)

Perhaps the biggest statement about the transformative power of Uplift family camp is how many families who attended in the past immediately signed up to do it again!

Kids enjoy working with a developmentally trained therapist alongside other kids their age to learn lifelong skills.
