Are you in need of a retreat? An opportunity to take a break from your home and stress of daily life? Come getaway to the peaceful woods this season and be renewed. We’ll provide a comfortable cabin, hot and tasty meals, trails to explore, and the shores of Shavehead Lake to soothe your soul.
Bring your family, a friend, or simply come on your own. All are welcome.
As you step away from the routines of life at home, we trust the Camp Getaway will provide you and your family with time to reconnect and to be renewed by the beauty of God’s creation.
Please note: Meals will be served out of the Main Dining Hall in reusable “to-go” containers meant to carry back to your cabin porch or you may choose to dine in the Dining Hall. We will not be delivering meals to your door as we did in the midst of the pandemic. This option will allow you to select your food from a buffet line and help reduce food waste!
As more typical activity has resumed at Camp, our facilities have shifted, too. Cabin set-up includes bunks, table, and chairs. (Not soft-seating.)

You may indicate your interest in a guided activity on your inquiry form and we’ll add it to your Getaway package.
Summer Getaway
Jul 25-29 Inquire
Cost: Adults $300, Children (4-17) $200, Children ages 0-3 Free
Looking to get away this summer? Want to experience the wonder of Camp Friedenswald without expectation for group activities and programming? (While we love this stuff, we know it’s not for everyone!) Consider this Monday-Friday Summer Getaway for yourself (and your friends or family). We’ll provide the simple cabin and meals, and you can feel free to pace your week in the way that feels right to you.
You can arrive anytime after 2 pm on Monday (first meal 5:30 pm supper) and the week ends following lunch (11:45 am) on Friday. Daily meals are served at 8:30 am / 12:30 pm / 5:30 pm.
The trails are open, and the kayaks are waiting! Bring your favorite book, a hammock, and your hiking shoes, and be prepared to spend a week unwinding and reconnecting with God, yourself, others (perhaps), and nature.
Please note: There will be other groups on-site this week. The beach will be unavailable during a two hour block each afternoon, but other than that you can feel to enjoy all of Camp on your own time.

What are people saying about their Getaway experience?
We honestly give everything 5 stars. I feel like you all thought of everything we needed and then you added some extra things like S’mores, and trail maps in the cabins and delicious desserts that we didn’t even know we needed.
We really appreciated all the amazing activities – the toboggan slide, the diving board and water slide, the canoes/kayaks, and the amazing food and nightly fires — that we were able to enjoy without feeling over-crowded or otherwise concerned about social distancing. It was a real luxury to be able to get away in this way.
Our family loved not having to worry about coordinating cooking or cleaning. For the introverts, the ability to vacation without any worries AND without any required socializing was perfect. We also enjoyed having our own campfire to sing around and roast s’mores on.
Great chance to relax in a beautiful setting.
