PARENT & CHILD RETREATS

PARENT & CHILD RETREATS
For Parents and Children (5 years +)

Parent & Child Weekends

These weekends are designed to give parents and children the opportunity to strengthen their relationships together and grow closer to God while having a whole lot of fun at camp. Chapel sessions combine fun and games, great worship times and messages from gifted speakers. Additional activities include: trail rides, high ropes course, indoor climbing wall, craft projects, campfire donut making, sports, playing games at the snack shop and more! What a great time to enjoy hanging out, worshiping together and being challenged by God.

Parent & Child Island Weekends

These summer weekends provide a unique experience for those looking to enjoy wilderness adventure! Unplug for a couple of days on our primitive 22-acre island. Stay in rustic cabins, cook over a fire and leave the luxuries of indoor plumbing behind. During the weekend you will get to deepen your relationship, experience new adventures and grow closer to God in a beautiful wilderness setting. Activities may include: canoeing, archery, swimming, hiking, mastering new outdoor skills, and much more!
