ABOUT HOUSE IN THE WOOD

House in the Wood rests in a beautiful forest setting on lake Delavan, in South Central Wisconsin. We are one hour from both Milwaukee and Madison and approximately 1.5 hrs from Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

Lodging choices include rustic cabins (limited availability) or abundant tent camping. Tent campers provide their own tents and sleeping bags. There is indoor plumbing throughout camp.

We understand that sometimes you may need to cancel due to circumstances that changed after you made your original plan to attend camp. We value flexibility, knowing that you are tending to the needs of your family. We want to be responsive to both your needs and those of the organizers of FHC who have made financial commitments in order to hold camp. 

Our cancellation policy is guided by our care for your needs and our need for integrity and financial sustainability. We have made agreements with our venue and our chef, each requiring a final count for camp by a specific date. This final count determines the fee we pay them, regardless of cancellations after that date. 

If we cancel we will return to you 100% of your tuition payment.
If you cancel on, or before Friday, June 6 2025, we will refund your tuition, minus a (10%) cancellation fee.
Cancellations made after June 6, 2025 will not be refunded*

*Covid Considerations: If you must cancel due to a positive covid test, please provide us with a time-stamped photo
of your positive covid test and we will refund your tuition, minus a 10%.

Why Family Heart Camp?

HEART stands for Harmony, Ease, Authenticity, Respect, and Trust,
important family values that Nonviolent Communication supports us in living,
both at camp and in the wider world.

Payment Options: 

Although we accept credit card payments, we are also delighted to receive a payment by check,
which does not incur added fees from the bank.

*Financial Assistance: It is important to us that camp is accessible to every family wanting to learn skills for contributing to peace in the world.
If you experience the fee to be a barrier to your families participation, please email your camp host to explore alternative financing.
