Overview
How would we change if we understood that we are called to be bearers of Jesus' love?
This retreat, designed for families to attend together, will help you take the time to slow down and understand our calling. Join us for a three-day retreat in the Catskills Mountains of Pennsylvania that we hope will be a time of recharging, rejuvenation, and deepening relationships for families with children and youth of all ages. With friends both new and old, we will experience the comfort of God’s love through practical seminars and the beauty of nature.
