Cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19
GRAND CAMP - Building a Legacy Overnight Resident Camp Dates: June 26-28, 2020 (5:00pm Friday through 10:00am Sunday) Grades: For grandkids suggested grades K-6 (but any age is welcomed) Description: Camp Jonah began 20 years ago following in the footsteps of co-founder Grandma "Bernice" Duke. She did "Cousin Camps" for her 24 grandkids for many years prior to starting Jonah. In this tradition, Grand Camp was added to our summer schedule in 2011. There's nothing like grandparents arriving for a full, fun weekend with one or more wiggly, excited grandkids in tow. Each grandparent is assigned a staffie (grand guide) to help throughout the weekend. We’ll do all the cooking, planning, teaching, cleaning and organizing for the weekend. You just come ready to focus on spending quality time with your grandkids, making lasting memories and growing closer to our Heavenly Father. Cost: For each of our camps, you will find three different camp prices. You get to choose the one that best fits your family’s ability to pay. Please consider selecting the highest price your family is able to afford. By doing so, you’ll help cover the true cost of running camp. Please click here for more details. |
Please be sure to request your grandparents or grandchildren as cabin mates so we know who you're grouped with.

2020 Grand Camp Directors
Ryan (Mulligan) and Shelly (QWERTY) Mellmer are directing Grand Camp 2020! This will be their second year directing this camp together and they are so excited! Ryan’s and Shelly met at a young adult group in 2015 and got married in March of 2017. Ryan is currently working as a computer programmer and Shelly is a receptionist for a dental office. Together they lead their church’s young adult group. When they are not working, Ryan and Shelly enjoy being outside, watching Disney movies, cuddling with their kitty, cooking together and spending time with family. Shelly has been involved with Camp Jonah since the summer of 2010 and has been hooked ever since. Ryan has worked two summers at Camp Tadmor and now, since marrying Shelly, has been volunteering at Camp Jonah. They are both super excited about Grand Camp and have a special place in their heart for it. The relationship between a grandparent and a grandchild is special. At Camp Jonah we are going to create an environment where relationships can grow, memories are made and you can experience the love of Christ. See you this summer!

Grand Camp is an absolute must for any grandparent interested in a significant investment in their grandkids. Ruth and I LOVED it when we attended last year. Jonah provides all the essentials... food, lodging, activities for the kids and a challenging speaker. You just have to love on your grandkids and maybe do the zip line with them!! We'll be back this coming year. Beats Disneyland for our family!!
