Scattergood Friends School invites families with children between the ages of six and thirteen to join us for Family Camp 

Family Camp provides an opportunity to spend quality time with your family in a relaxing and beautiful setting. Campers will experience a little bit of what life is like for the Scattergood community - eating meals with lots of friends, sleeping in a dorm, learning about the farm animals and gardens, and working together to make the weekend great! Adults and children enjoy exploring the campus and meeting other families while playing, creating, and learning together.

Here’s what last year’s Family Campers said they liked about Scattergood Family Camp:

• Swimming time
