Chalice Sparx Family Camp & Retreat

Friday-Sunday, June 27-29, 2025

At Camp Friedenswald, Casssopolis, Michigan

At Chalice Sparx Camp and retreat for families you will experience a truly multigenerational community. There are no camp counselors here to whisk away the children separate from their families. Here we learn together, worship together and explore together in a community of all ages.

• Worship for All Ages
• Explore Stations and crafts
• Archery
• Fun and Games
• Popcorn Hollow
• Canoeing, Kayaking and Swimming
• Plus our annual activities of rock painting, outdoor adventures, scavenger hunt

We are a multigenerational community that is intentionally welcoming for LGBTQ+ families, and families who have a member who is trans or non-binary make up a sizeable portion of the families who have attended over the years. We have nurtured several trans kids in their journey toward adulthood and offer a time out of time and a place out of place experience for Unitarian Universalist families to connect and support one another.

Mark your calendar now and plan to attend! Registration will open in late winter.

"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." - Albert Schweitzer
