President Trump and his family will make their first visit to Camp David this weekend, according to the White House.

“The first family heads to Camp David. Hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend,” Stephanie Grisham, communications director for first lady Melania Trump, tweeted Friday evening.

Alerts of the president’s visit were issued by the federal government earlier this week, according to The Frederick News Post, which noted a Federal Aviation Administration notice being issued. Similar notifications were sent in March and May but didn't lead to a visit.

This is the first visit Trump will make as president to Camp David, which has served as a traditional country retreat for U.S. presidents. Since taking office, Trump has mostly opted to spend his weekends at his golf clubs in Florida and New Jersey.

Past presidents have used the Camp David retreat in Maryland for personal use as well as hosting foreign dignitaries. Leaders such as former U.K. Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and Tony Blair have been hosted, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Former President Jimmy Carter famously brokered the Camp David Accords between Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

The Evergreen Chapel at Camp David....President Reagan made the first contribution of $1,000 and selected the site location within Camp David.... The rustic octagonal building made of wood and stained glass can seat up to 150 people.

I know...he’s just 10 yrs old...and likely as tall as most men already since Trump usually towers over most himself...

Wye Oak Fitness Center at Camp David... In addition to the exercise equipment, the retreat's fitness center also has an 'indoor' pool and basketball court.

Security is very tight there because Camp David, ‘officially’ known as ‘Naval Support Facility (NSF) is an ‘active Navy base’ staffed by ‘Navy and Marine personnel’..... A recruiting team from Camp David travels to various Naval facilities to search for sailors qualified to work at the presidential retreat.

She’s such a lovely lady no matter what she wears...and having heard her many interviews etc. She’s that inside as well.and yet has a great mind....so one could say she is the whole package.

I love how she thinks the WhiteHouse is the peoples House and is opening any of the areas the Obamas closed off to the public. She wants the public to see ‘Their’ whitehouse...she’s also gotten together history about the rooms to educate those interested....so people don’t just look but understand the history.
