Twin Rocks Friends Camp Hosts Gingerbread House Party Sat. Dec. 7th

Posted on December 3, 2024 by Editor

Run, run as fast as you can! Come to Twin Rocks if you’re a gingerbread fan!

A fun-filled, family Christmas event with holiday themed activities, food, and music will be hosted at Twin Rocks Friends Camp on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The first ever Gingerbread House Party is an open invitation to the community to come partake in the merriment and visit the Twin Rocks campus.

“We wanted to do something that really helps bring the community together and gives them a great family event,” Twin Rocks Development Director Liz Seume said. “We also want to give people the chance to see our camp and get to know us.”

Entry to the event is free with happenings located inside many of the camp’s buildings.

Setting the ambience will be live music performed by a family bluegrass band, classic Christmas hymns on the piano, and Christmas carols sung by the Neah-Kah-Nie High School choir. Guests can participate in several no-cost activities such as: a stained glass art project, hunt for glass ornaments around the camp, cocoa and popcorn snacks, a kids coloring activity, and story time with Mrs. Claus. Santa will also be available for photos with a professional portrait photographer. Families will receive their free photos via a digital link.

“We’re providing families with a joyful Christmas event where they can spend time together in an interactive environment,” Seume said.

Guests can also reserve slots to participate in fee-based activities including: a wreath making class and gingerbread house decorating.

“The gingerbread houses are real food with real ingredients: molasses, ginger, and all the spices. You’ll actually want to eat these when you’re done,” Seume said. “I’m working on a gluten-free version because they taste really good too.”

Each gingerbread house is $15 and the cost of the wreath making class is $20. All supplies and clean up (yeah!) are included. To reserve your spot, visit twinrocks.org/christmas. Payment will be collected at the event.

The Undertow (on campus coffee shop) will be open at the event with espresso drinks available for purchase. In the dining hall, German themed concessions like bratwurst and pretzels will also be for sale.

“This is a chance for families to interact together and focus on the joy of the season,” Seume said.

Parking is free and staff will be onsite to direct guests.

Twin Rocks Friends Camp & Conference Center is located at 18705 US 101, Rockaway Beach, OR 97136. For more information,
