Teton Family Encampment Details Each summer in the Grand Teton mountains near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, believers come together for outstanding spiritual fellowship, bible classes and preaching. Significant themes and solid speakers build up Teton Family Camp participants. The gathering is conducted in the beautiful Colter Bay amphitheater beside Lake Jackson. The encampment weekday schedule concludes every day at noon. This arrangement leaves the afternoons and evenings free for family enjoyment at the many recreational areas making it easy to plan a family vacation around Christian fellowship. The public facilities at Colter Bay provide several lodging options. The National Park Service campground offers tent and RV sites on a first come first served basis. But Teton Lodge Company allows reservations at their lodge rooms, log cabins, tent enclosures, camper and RV sites at a nominal fee. The "tent cabins" not only have shelter, but also a grill for cooking. Log cabins include indoor bathroom facilities but without the privilege of cooking. And, nearby Jackson Lodge overlooking Lake Jackson offers first class resort hotel accommodations. Each family provides their own housing and meals. There are restaurants at Colter Bay, Jackson Lodge, and at various tourist sites in the National Parks. All cabins, lodge rooms, and camping sites must be reserved months in advance since people from all over the world come to this area each year to witness its beauty and enjoy its recreational offerings. The Grand Teton Lodge Company begins accepting reservations in November. Those planning to attend the next encampment must get their housing or camping reservations in early. The encampment is conducted each year beginning the second Sunday in July. The Sunday worship begins at noon since the amphitheater is tied up Sunday mornings. The camp program continues Monday through Wednesday mornings, concluding on Wednesday at noon. In addition to the morning preaching and various classes scheduled, there are other options provided for Christian fellowship including a campfire wiener-roast, singings, a picnic and a hike. The teaching offered at the Teton Family Encampment is carefully planned to uphold biblical truths. Controversialists, whether liberal or legalistic, have not been invited to participate. Some speakers have been Roy Lanier, Jr., Ron Coleman, Bill Hearn, Jim Dobbs, Mark and Will Hanstein, Guy Orbison, Jr., Richard Sutton, Tom Wacaster and Ron White. The lessons are designed to encourage one another to remain loyal to God's Word. Speakers address biblical principles, important topics and texts. Here is an encampment where families may relax and have confidence that they will hear nothing foreign or destructive to their faith. A vacation encampment is a great way to enjoy recreation in God's beautiful creation and to build one's faith. At the Teton Family Encampment, new friendships have grown and developed for eternity.
