About RRFExcitement

We are the Wilson Family and we have been coming to the Red River Family Encampment since the very first encampment in 1987. Four generations have attended the event, and there has been a Wilson at every RRFE.

We decided to create this website to share over 30 years of RRFE experience with other families around the world. We hope that it will encourage new families to make their first visit to this magnificent Christian, family event. We also hope that long-time campers can find some useful tips and advice to ensure their continued visits are as fun, relaxing and spiritually-nourishing as possible.

This site is privately-owned. It has no official or financial relationship with the Red River Family Encampment. The views expressed are of the Wilson family and not the RRFE.
