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
• Wagon Ride
• 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.
