Family Camp
Each summer, St Mark’s picks a weekend for our families to go to the diocesan conference center on Mustang Island for “Family Camp”.  Family Camp is NOT an outdoor camping program.  It is four days of recreation together on the beech at Mustang Island, with condominium style accommodations and wonderful food served at every meal.  There are evening devotions, crafts, beach games, movies, talent show night, and a great staff.  Most of the activities and events are optional.  Every family can make the weekend work for them.  To find out more, visit the diocesan website here, and listen during the spring for announcement about St Mark’s weekend.
