Family Camps are an excellent -- and affordable-- type of getaway in the great outdoors, with meals and many activities included.

Families can enjoy "Family Weekends" at one of the first summer camps to be established in the US: The Frost Valley YMCA camp has 6000 acres in the Catskills, and runs summer camps for kids, day camps, teen adventure camps, Elderhostel, Family Weekends, and more.

Lodging options range from platform tents to cabins to inn-style Forstmann Castle and a country inn.
