Just a couple great testimonials we have received:

“I was very pleased with all elements of the weekend this year. The entire team had great attitudes and were very accommodating! The new chef knocked it out of the park with the food and his kindness and availability. Seriously, I was happy with all elements and look forward to working with you guys next year!”
– David J. Hardie, CMA – Youth Religious Retreat, 2014

I’m really thankful that our group chose to spend the weekend at Family First Sports Park! The Family First staff worked with us in every way to make sure that we had an experience that was tailored to meet our every need!  The facilities were definitely a huge selling point and they did not disappoint!  This is definitely a place to consider for any group looking for a solid venue!
– Ryan Cathers, Believer’s Church – Youth Religious Retreat, 2014

At Camp at Family First Sports Park…  “I wanted to tell everyone how much it has improved. They have remodeled the rooms, replaced all the air conditioning units and have a REALLY good cook. It’s VERY clean. They lined the field for us (football field), including zero points (band).  I think you would be impressed most by the food. We will defiantly be back again next year for the 11th year in a row!”
– Joe Trenent, Lakeside High School Band – Band Camp, 2016
