Fort St. John Petroleum Association
15th Annual Family Camping Weekend
AUGUST 21-23, 2026
Registration Opens June 1st
The FSJPA Family Camping Weekend offers a fun-filled weekend with back-to-back activities for the entire family.
The best part (arguably) – all meals are provided!
Registration opens on Fri Aug 15th from 4-8pm. All guests MUST register during this time. While the parents set up camp, kids are encouraged to participate in the Golder Duck treasure hunt for prizes, and to tour the park on a horse-drawn carriage. After dinner, kids can take in a movie on the big screen, while the Ladies Pottery Night runs in the Pavilion.
Saturday kicks off with breakfast and complimentary coffee. The festivities continue throughout the day with many events at the campsite for all to enjoy. Activities include bouncy castles & slides, laser tag (you read the right!), mini golf, wagon rides, and much more!. We have a fantastic Saturday dinner planned with the Large Duck Auctions. Movies and popcorn are shown on the jumbo screen in the park, while we host a DANCE afterwards.
Sunday is highlighted by breakfast, kids’ crafts, wagon rides, and a live demonstration from the Taylor Fire Department. To wrap up the weekend, we drop 600 ducks into the Peace River for the 13th Annual Duck Race –
MAY THE BEST DUCK WIN!
