A Look Back at Past Family Retreats

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: From simply relaxing to the fun and togetherness of optional family activities, our experienced program team has something planned for everyone. Our twice-daily 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
