Weekend at Rick’s Place: Family Edition

We provide the space, food, and games, and you bring the camping equipment!

Camp outdoors overnight at Rick’s Place with dinner and breakfast provided. Registered participants receive a weekend of organized camping alongside other Military Families at Rick’s Place. 

When: May 18th @ 2 pm - May 19th @ 10 am

Location: 5572 Shenandoah Drive, Fayetteville, NC, 28304

This program creates a weekend filled with fun and adventure to connect families back to each other and nature. Group activities will have families working as a team in competition and collaboration with other families to see who the ultimate “Camp Champ” is.

There is no age limit for this program, however activities are aimed at children between the ages of 6-14 years. Families of any size and seasoned camping vets or first-time campers are all welcome.

During this program, an RHF staff member will be present to orchestrate games and food, but the legal guardian is responsible for the well-being of the children they bring.

This program is free of charge to service members and their families. Registration opens for each session 2 weeks before that session’s start date.
