Labor Day Family Camp
About Labor Day Family Camp – Aug. 30-sep. 2, 2024
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 | Michael Thomas
Pastor Michael Thomas (PMT) is the church planter and lead pastor of Radiant Covenant Church in Seattle, WA. He is a native of Chicago, IL and it was there that God placed a passion and vision in his heart to start a multi-ethnic church in Seattle. He also serves on the City of Renton’s clergy task force for reconciliation and justice; Michael is also a bridge builder for the local school district providing conflict management for students and faculty. In 2020, under the vision of Pastor Mike Thomas, 46 churches & 700 people came together for one purpose…to speak against injustice and lament the murder of George Floyd and too many others! In 2023, Radiant Church kicked off its first annual Faith and Race conference. The conference focuses on the intersection of faith and race issues in the PNW. Michael earned his Bachelor of Science in Church & Ministry Management; He also earned his Masters of Divinity Degree from North Park Theological Seminary. Currently, Michael is the co-author of “Jesus, Michael, & Mamba” with John Teter targeting athletes, sports enthusiasts, and non-believers to come to know Jesus. Michael is passionate about people. He believes the church can be a community that radically impacts the city. Michael has been married for 23 years to Kimberly. They have 3 children together: Jeremiah, Abigail, and Gideon.
Worship | Mark Stuckey
Mark Stuckey serves as Associate Pastor at McMinnville Covenant Church in Oregon. In addition to over two decades of experience leading worship, he has also enjoyed serving as an adjunct professor in George Fox University’s music department. Mark is passionate about curating faith gatherings that celebrate the diverse kingdom of God. He is known for his creative ministry approach, Armenian cooking, love of tacos, and dedication to his family. Mark resides in Portland with his wife Hannah, son Sawyer, and their dog Teva.

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.
Dates and pricing
2023 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.
