Family Camp is one of our most popular and meaningful events of the year—a chance for families impacted by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) to connect, relax and build community together.
Because of the incredible interest in Family Camp and limited cabin space, we are using a lottery system this year to give every family a fair chance to attend.
By completing the lottery form, your family will be entered for the opportunity to join us for a weekend of fun, connection and FASD-informed support.
Have questions in the meantime? Reach out to our Youth and Family team at youthandfamily@proofalliance.org—we’re happy to help.

We also take family size and cabin space into account so that everyone enjoys a comfortable and welcoming stay.
