Labor Day Family Camp
About Labor Day Family Camp – September 4-7, 2026
Labor Day Family Camp is a laid-back farewell as we savor the summer’s end! This camp has less programming than Independence Day Family Camp, but still includes all the great camp activities, speaking, and worship that you love! Spend the weekend in rustic-plush Cascades lodging, or bring your own tent or R.V. Either way, everyone will enjoy Labor Day favorites such as rocket cars, the cardboard boat regatta, and the yummy pancake breakfast.
Speaker | Britta Burger
Britta serves as one of the Co-Lead Pastors at Newport Covenant Church with her husband, Paul. Throughout her years in ministry, her passion for bearing witness to the belovedness in others as they encounter Jesus, and holding people’s stories of grief and pain as it leads them to greater life has remained constant in her various roles in the Church. Britta loves to laugh at other people’s jokes, be by the water, exercise, craft with things on hand, and watch her children and family become who God created them to be. Join Pastor Britta as she leads us through her powerful messages for the weekend.
Worship | Paul Burger
Throughout the years, Paul has used his gifts and passions to lead others through worship. Creating a space for people to encounter God, entering into one-on-one conversations that reach the deeper parts of story and self, and finding creative ways to explore faith together are a few things that Paul loves and incorporates into each ministry he serves. Now, he uses all of those gifts and more in his current role as Co-Lead Pastor with his wife, Britta, at Newport Covenant Church. Paul loves to go to the lake with his kids, build Legos, and feed the hummingbirds in his backyard. Join Pastor Paul and his team as they lead worship for the weekend!
Our Family Camp Programs
Every family camp program at Cascades has its own distinct atmosphere and design. Memorial Day Family Camp is the most affordable and least structured so you can experience Cascades at your own pace. Independence Day Family Camp is the biggest event of the summer, packed with exciting activities, fun fellowship, dynamic speakers, and amazing worship. Labor Day Family Camp provides a laid-back program, designed to wrap up the summer with all of your favorite parts of camp and some great worship gatherings.
Sign-Up Activities
Adventure Activities sign-ups will be online in advance of the start of family camp.
You must be registered for family camp. You will receive instructions, access to the online sign up form, and requirements for each activity via email about two weeks before camp is scheduled to begin. The form must be filled out for each interested member of your family. Please note that filling out the online form does not guarantee a slot and that we will do our best to accommodate your interests, given the space available. Due to availability, capacities, and preferences, some guests may receive no activities, and others may receive two at most. The adventure activities are popular attractions at Cascades, which means that the spots for each option will fill up.
Using an advanced online sign-up system for our Adventure Activities allows all family campers an equitable opportunity to enjoy more of what Cascades has to offer. We appreciate your partnership and grace in this effort!
Dates and pricing
TIERED PRICING MODEL
We say it often, but it deserves to be repeated: we want every individual to have the opportunity to come to Cascades, regardless of their financial situation. This pricing model makes programs at Cascades accessible to families that may not otherwise be able to attend camp. We’re grateful to those who can afford the unsubsidized “true” cost for supporting this effort to broaden our reach as we seek to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
Tier #1 | The unsubsidized “true” cost of camp for families who can afford it.
Tier #2 | A subsidized option (15% off the Tier #1 price) for families who need extra financial assistance to be able to experience Cascades programs.
To apply the Tier #2 option to your registration, use the discount code “tier2fc” for each person you are registering. For families that need additional support, we offer a need-based sponsorship program with an online application process.
