Retreat Registration Form

Overview

Join us for a time of family fun and restoration to connect with God and each other. Lodging is in private cabins and dormitory style rooms. Each family group will be assigned their own cabin or dormitory room(s). Meals are provided but we do ask that each family signup to bring something to share (we’ll send you list later). Each family will be gifted a family devotional book to help continue connecting with God when you’re back home.
