R Family Vacations :: Provincetown

Download the PDF booklet (7.7 MB)

Welcome to Family Week 2007!
July 28 - August 4.

R Family Vacations is thrilled to join Family Pride Coalition to create “Provincetown Family Week”, a week-long GLBT family adventure in one of the most gay friendly destinations in the world. It is a chance for our children to meet other children with GLBT parents and for parents to meet other parents and share experiences.

Family Week will be structured differently than in past years. There is no registration fee. Every family who travels to Provincetown for family week can participate. R Family Vacations will produce all of the activities during the week including beach picnics, puppet workshops, dance class, themed dinners, and a Broadway Brunch (with real Broadway performers!). Family Pride has organized educational workshops and speakers as well as gatherings for various types of families.

There will be some events that require tickets and tons of activities that you just need to show up and get ready for some fun.

Is Family Week different than an R Family Cruise?

Family Week is one of many themed weeks in Provincetown. These include Women’s Week, Singles Week, Bear Week and, of course, Family Week. “PTown” is a charming, artsy, gay friendly beach town filled with great shopping, lots of places to get lobster rolls, amazing sunsets, and incredible art galleries.

Provincetown Family Week is not a completely chartered and contained experience like a cruise. It’s really a chance to go on vacation with your family, meet other families just like yours, and participate in as little or as many activities and events that we are offering.

Where do we stay?

Provincetown is an organized vacation destination filled with charming inns and many condos for weekly rentals. Most families prefer condo rentals as they are more appropriate family accommodations and it’s always nice to have a kitchen when you are traveling with kids.

Most Inns and condos do require a long stay. You can check with the Best Western if you want to attend a portion of the week: 508-487-1286

Go to the following websites for some rental options:

www.piedpiperrealestate.com
www.cyberrentals.com

Most importantly, book your housing early as Family Week is a popular time to be in Provincetown.
