Jayden thoroughly slaughtered me in chess while Jon beat the boys in every game at the end of the table. We love games, but don’t always have a chance to play where we are not all exhausted.Įpic battles of Uno, Jenga, Shoots & Ladders, and chess raged for two days in the dining hall between my husband and I and the kids. I had planned on packing some card games for us to play in the cabin over the weekend, but completely forgot! But it was not a problem as the camp had a large cupboard of games to play for all ages of children. All of that to say, we were well fed and happy with the food served. Anytime they can fill their plates with a smorgasbord of food options like a hotel, they are overjoyed. They didn’t serve pizza or hamburgers once! (Not that we would have minded.) The kids loved breakfast the most. My husband and I were impressed with the variety and quality of food. They had snacks, hot cocoa, and coffee available in the dining hall when we arrived.Īll of the meals were served in a buffet with plenty of options for the whole family. We arrived Friday night at the camp, but we were responsible for our own dinner that night. There was plenty of hot water, an air conditioning, and heat for the cold nights during November.

The cabins are able to be divided in half by a large barn door and would be perfect for extended families going to family camp together to all be together, but still have privacy. There are bunk beds and single twin beds in each cabin with bathrooms & showers. Our whole family stayed in the same cabins the boys did during the summer. Where would our family stay? What was the food like? Would there be enough fun things for the whole family to do? If you are how I was when planning our weekend at family camp, you are wondering about the details of the weekend. YMCA Camp Cullen Family Camps are available throughout the year and are a perfect way to introduce your young children to camp. We found out that YMCA Camp Cullen has several family camps throughout the year and I immediately knew we wanted to book a weekend for our whole family to experience the fun the big boys had last summer. Waiting for summer 2020 felt like a really long ways away. The middle boys kept asking when they were going to be able to go to camp. We were all kind of jealous of the fun they had at camp. They spent a week without us making friends, having so much fun, and learning about all the things they are capable of doing. If you were not following us during the summer, you missed our oldest boys adventure of their first overnight camp at YMCA Camp Cullen.
