This past weekend was our annual Family Retreat!
We were a packed house with lots of families joining us for the weekend. Everywhere I looked there were families enjoying one another from Pacific Woods Lodge to Q-Town! What a great weekend for families to step into a whole new world at Qwanoes and spend time with each other and God.
Every morning we kicked off the day with a BIG breakfast, pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, hash-browns and all the fixings! The families would come in and sit down together as a family and the staff would serve the families at their table. All the parents were loving not having to lift a finger as everything was taken care of for them! I saw one camper stack up four waffles one morning with whip cream and berries…he was in Heaven!
Q-Towns were very special as we got to hear a few of the brand new songs from the NEW album “Out Of This World”! My favorite new one I heard was the one with the Hawaiian sound! I couldn’t get it out of my head all day! “Oh Oh Oh on the Island” – If you are coming this summer, you will love hearing Russ “The Squirrel” on his ukulele…Island style!
Every morning and night there were programs for all ages! The smaller kids headed up to the Sky Deck for an awesome space theme program that they rotated through. The adults stayed up in Club Coco for a challenging message and worship. Later on that morning the whole camp came together to enjoy some fun family games!
Afternoons were of course filled with all our Qwanoes activities! So many choices and so much free time, it was great watching moms and daughters and fathers and sons enjoying the Challenge Course together!
Fireside times were also a big hit with funny skits, singing, powerful dramas, challenging messages and of course S’mores! (Oh – and no one will ever forget watching Dan join the ‘Lunks bobsled team!)
If this sounds like something you are interested in, it’s not too late!
Two great family programs coming up soon!
