One of Ferncliff’s unique features is that we have a10,000 sq ft Disaster Assistance Center commonly referred to as “the DAC.” The warehouse is one of two centers in the US designated to receive Church World Service Gift-of-the-Heart kits from churches around the country.

Last weekend we had a camper request to host her birthday party at Ferncliff. Part of the time she and her guests volunteered in our Disaster Center and part of the time they had fun all around camp. Instead of giving gifts, each guest was asked to make a donation for the kit materials. The party went so well, that we have decided to make it a program option. We are calling it “Party with a Purpose”.

The basic “Party” package will be $20/participant ($10 disaster supply donation, $10 activity fee). The program is designed for 8-14 participants although we may be able to accommodate larger groups. Adults not participating, but acting as chaperones don’t have to pay. You can book this party for a Saturday from either 10am-1pm or 2pm-5pm. This time frame will include 1 hour of service in the Disaster Assistance Center, a fun camp tour (30 minutes), and then camp recreation activities (boating, fishing, hiking, Shady Chute, peddle cars, etc.)  The picnic area will also be available for use for cake, snacks, etc. Each party will have a host/hostess to guide them from each activity in a timely manner. In the summer you can also add a 2 hour pool party package at our awesome pool for $165.

If you have any questions or would like to book your next birthday or special event with us please just call or email.
