Opportunities For Families In May & June

Escape to the great outdoors… connect with God, your family, and others! Make memories that will last. There are many exciting ways for families to be involved at Camp Qwanoes during May and June.

Spring Family Retreat Is Here!

Starting later today as this May long weekend begins, families are going on an adventure together at our Spring Family Retreat! As I write, I can hear Russ and our band, Quixotic, practicing our new summer theme song, Live It Up, and our events team is outside in front of Club Coco getting ready for all the fun (and crazy) family times.

Special (& crazy) family times

The final touches are being put on the children’s and youth programs and the activities (including some Qwanoes Beach activities!) are ready to go. We look forward to holding our very first Surf-O-Rama carnival of many to come this summer! Now we  just need our Family Retreat guests!

Family Work Weekend… Go On A Family Missions Trip!

Two weeks later on June 1-3 is Qwanoes’ Family Work Weekend. This is a great opportunity to serve together and experience Qwanoes all in one weekend – and there is no cost! This special weekend includes all ages working together on Saturday to help prepare the camp for the summer season, our special “Day of Prayer” program, a family fun event and fireside Saturday evening, and a Q-Town Sunday morning.

Be part of preparing the camp for an exciting summer season of ministry! Your efforts will help create the best possible environment for high-impact ministry to take place. See Family Work Weekend for more info and to register.

All ages welcome!

Everyone’s Invited To Our Open House!

On Saturday, June 9… grab your suntan lotion, pack your swim suit, load up your family and friends, and prepare for a special day of adventure at our annual Open House! There’s something for everyone… Qwanoes Beach activities (including the Aqua-Park and Waterskiing/Wakeboarding), the Challenge Course, our world-class concrete skate park and other land activities, children’s activities, and many more options for all ages.

Meals are provided! Enjoy lunch and a barbeque dinner, both at no cost. The day will conclude with music, singing, testimonies, and thanksgiving at a special pre-summer Q-Town. We’d love to welcome you!

Don’t Miss Our 2nd-Ever Summer Family Retreat!

Our first Summer Family Retreat last June was a huge success and we are very excited to be offering families this opportunity once again. From June 15-17 (with a Jumpstart Option on June 14), families are invited to spend an early summer getaway together at Qwanoes!

Qwanoes Beach open at Summer Family Retreat

This special weekend features the program, food (and no clean up!), speaker for the adults, and great extras like complimentary evening babysitting that families love – AND it also features a full range of activities at Qwanoes Beach! We look forward to celebrating the start of summer with all of you! For details and to register, click here.
