This Brand New Family Opportunity Is Back!
In the fall of 2010 we decided to change our popular Summer Family Camp into a Summer Family Retreat. And we moved it to the second half of June to create this extra special family retreat. Click here for more information about this change.
Summer Family Retreat (June 15-17, 2012)
Take a family vacation with a purpose. Qwanoes Style. The perfect blend of recreation and friendship, relaxation and discovery. Prepare yourself for the smiles. Togetherness. And countless memories. Young, old, single parent...all families are welcome!
OR – CHOOSE THE "JUMPSTART" OPTION AND ADD A DAY! (June 14-17, 2012) SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO!
Go on an adventure together!
Enjoy a thoroughly enriching experience in a distinctively Christ-centred environment. Through a gifted speaker, excellent food, special music, exciting programs for children and youth, and the warmth and closeness of fireside companionship, God will challenge and strengthen your family.
Far more than a great vacation, it is also your best value–where the extras don't cost extra! You'll enjoy just the right balance of free-time and optional planned events. All this in the beauty and peace of Qwanoes...where we are seeking to cater to your needs. Come for the highlight of the year for your family!
Featuring: Qwanoes Beach is open...from wakeboarding and riding the Roaket to kayaking and playing on the Aqua Park, tons of water adventures awaits! Plus, from simply relaxing to the fun and togetherness of optional family activities, our experienced program team has something planned for everyone. Our Q‑Town sessions will include singing, fun skits, interaction, and sharing. Here are some other highlights:
- Quality Children's & Youth Programs
- Sports and Activities
- Special (& Crazy!) Family Times
- Great Food...And No Clean-Up!
- Complimentary Evening Babysitting
Surf-O-Rama Carnival
The Big Kahuna is back with even crazier challenges than ever at this giant beach-theme party! Test your surfin’ skills on the Boogie Board Bonanza, the Wave Rider and the Shredder! Go for a cruise at the Banzai Pipeline! Try our giant slide, huge obstacle course, cotton candy, and more!
Our Speaker: Don (& Deb) Schulling
Don and Deb are passionate about strengthening homes to have rock-solid relationships that glorify God. Don was in camp ministry for six years followed by pastoral ministry for twenty-five years, focusing on marriages and families for the past ten years.
