Thanks for the love from our GREAT FAMILY! We shared a special weekend. And now let's share some photos. Share yours too! A very special thank you to our hosts Camp Manitowa at Rend Lake. You made The Great Family Camp-In 2025 at Camp Manitowa something truly special. Awards went to: Kirk Hitchings for best snack with his delicious crab dip. Teresa Parker and Ruby Parker Fannin for best decor. The "Caught You Doing Something Good" award went to C.j. Dauber. And we have a MAYOR: TERESA PARKER! And she is already busy making proclamations and decrees! Here are a few photos mostly taken by the bestest sister in the world, Allison. THANKS EVERY FAMILY MEMBER, FOR A REAL GOOD TIME.

Good Morning, and Happy Monday,

This weekend is the Great Family Camp-In! We are expecting an intimate group of friends and family and we are excited to see everyone.

+Please reach out to Dan at Camp Manitowa with any questions. 314-348-6412; [email protected].

+He informed us this morning, weekend or one day invites may be purchased at the door AND there are a few yurts left, so if you prefer not to camp out (free) you can get a yurt for just $75 additional for the whole weekend. It does not have AC, but it does have power for fans;). Register and reserve invites/upgrades/camping here: https://bit.ly/3Xbzwim and please pass it along to the +1s and friends joining you!

+Please be sure to bring all of the items you need for your spot, such as bedding, towels, and other items. Coolers are the way you will keep things cold, so plan for that as well. There will be ice on site and there are a lot of amenities nearby.

+Please find the schedule and poster below in the feed.

+If you want to sign up for an open stage slot on Friday night, please reply back and let me know. Otherwise, the Saturday music schedule is below.

+Be sure to bring a snack to share for the potluck on Friday, and join us for the free Taco Fiesta on Saturday before the music starts.

Let’s help Camp Manitowa get ready to welcome us home—with love and some sweet camp magic. See you Friday!
