Is there WIFI at Family Camp?

We get it—finding that work/life balance is tough, and not every job allows for a full week away. But guess what? We still want you at Family Camp—even if you need to sending a few emails here and there. This year, we’re offering a dedicated space, in the White Field House Foyer, with internet access. Check in with work when needed and still make the most of camp with your family.
