The main objective of the Family Camp program is for you and your family to have fun. Rain or shine there is plenty to do at Family Camp. Throughout the summer we have parties, fishing contests, instruction in Scout Skills, hikes, sing-a-longs, softball games and water carnivals. Daily programs include instructional and recreational swimming, boating and archery. There are scheduled nature walks, canoe trips on the Delaware River, supervised shooting sports, bingo games and movies. Families can participate in all, some or none of these activities. Your time is your own at Family Camp.

Reservation Outpost Programs
Family Campers are also welcome to take part in many of the TMR Reservation Outpost Programs. These programs include Climbing & Rappelling, completing a low and high ropes course (called the COPE Course), paddling the giant War Canoes, visiting the Indian Village, and much more. Check the Reservation Outpost Program Schedule for availability.

Religious Services
There are chaplains and chapels located in the other camps at Ten Mile River which provide religious services in the different faiths. There are also houses of worship in neighboring towns near towns. A Catholic priest celebrates Mass on Sunday mornings in the Family Camp circle field.

About Stumpp Cabin
Stumpp Cabin houses the Family Camp Director's office, a trading post which sells snacks and camp memorabilia, and our staff kitchen. It's also a great get-together spot for campers. There's a small library and game area, and toys for toddlers. Please feel free to bring some books, current magazines or complete games to enhance our library and play area.

The Surrounding Community
While you're at Family Camp, you may wish to explore the towns near the TMR reservation. It's a good idea to notify the Camp Office when you are leaving camp in case we get telephone messages for you. See "The Delaware Community" section of the TMR Leaders' Guide for ideas on places to visit. The Family Camp staff will be glad to direct you to these locations as well as restaurants and other places of interest in the area.

When going on a hike always tell the Camp Office where you are going.
