Family Camp


About Mustang Island Family Camps: 

Come and spend the most wonderful, meaningful time with your family at the beach on gorgeous Mustang Island. At Mustang Island Family camp your family has the opportunity to unplug, relax and reconnect with what’s important – family, faith, community and God’s glorious creation. 
Each family stays in a beautifully furnished room with a private deck and view of the Gulf of Mexico.  The program begins on a Thursday afternoon/evening and continues through Sunday lunch. Enjoy swimming, singing, surfing instruction, arts & crafts, delicious meals, a buried treasure hunt, beach games, worship, building sand chapels and sand castles, fishing, resting under a beach umbrella, bonfires and more.
The best thing about Mustang Island Family Camp is the lifelong spiritual impact it will have on your family and the relationships that will grow and strengthen here on the island. Families plan and participate each day in worship with great music and hear a Biblically based teaching. There is an Episcopal priest who serves as chaplain for each session and officiates at the closing Eucharist.
Now in its tenth season, Mustang Island Family Camp has continued to grow with many of the same families returning year after year. Indeed, Mustang Island Family camp has become a priceless family tradition. Escape to the beach with your loved ones and make memories to last a lifetime! 

Update From Your Island Home, by Johnson Jeffers

This summer (2011) marked the ninth summer of Family Camp at Mustang Island Conference Center, and it was an amazing one.  Over 800 kids and adults attended Family Camp to beat the heat and enjoy some family fun on the beach.  Led by the summer camp’s teachers, Meredith Gardial and Suzanna Frey, we adopted the diocesan theme of the “Parable of the Sower.”  With help from chaplains and staff, families explored the parable through worship, family discussions, skits, and hands-on activities.  Through daily lessons, families applied the parable to their everyday lives and deepened their relationships with God.
