Family Retreats

Renew your faith, build meaningful friendships, and spend a weekend grounded in God’s Word and genuine community at Lakeside Bible Camp.

Experience a Weekend at Camp on Whidbey Island

Just a short ferry ride from Seattle to Clinton, WA, followed by a scenic drive through tree-lined roads, brings you to camp - where families can unplug, explore, and grow in their faith.

Our Family Retreats for all ages offers the perfect chance to experience the magic of camp in the winter - bundling up for outdoor adventures, gathering for games and worship, and making memories that last a lifetime.

Family Retreats FAQS

  • DROP-OFF: Camper check-in is from 6:00-7:00pm on Friday. You are welcome to arrive on the grounds earlier as long as adults stay with their children. Once campers are all checked-in, they will be able to move into their cabins. Dinner is not provided on Friday, but there will be an evening snack.

    Please let the Registrar (registrar@lakesidebiblecamp.org) know if you are planning to arrive later than 7:00pm.

    PICK-UP:  Weekend Retreats end at 12:00pm (noon) on Sunday. Youth campers will have lunch at 11:30am, prior to their departure. This is a lunch that is just for the campers (unlike Summer Camp). If a camper needs to depart early, please notify staff at check-in.
