Christmas Camp - 2026 - What you need to know
Welcome to Christmas Camp! We are so glad you are considering joining us if you haven’t already purchased your space. Christmas Camp is an annual event hosted by Heart of Hospitality Magazine and Mon Ami Ministry. We meet over 3 days to gather, celebrate, and get ready for the Christmas and holiday season. We have a meet-and-greet the first night where we can connect, meet new friends, and reconnect with friends from the past. We follow that with a full day of fabulous workshops, including fun activities like making mocktails for events, learning new wrapping skills, decorating and crafting ideas, and, of course, having food and friends to do it all with. Our third day includes fun activities around town and, our favorite, shopping! It ends with dinner and a special event being hosted by the city of Shipshewana that you won’t want to miss.
Your $150 registration (plus Eventbrite fee) reserves your spot for the weekend and includes all materials for our time together. We will have snacks during our workshops, and your registration includes lunch on the day of the workshops. It doesn't include airfare, hotel, or dinners.
