Our Spring Family Retreat is on Right Here, Right Now! And in less than one hour, our brand-new Sky Station will be opening to guests at Qwanoes for the very first time! No matter where you are on this May long weekend, we hope you’re enjoying it.
A Great Place To Come Together
Last weekend, we had young adults from a number of different places in Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island come together for an amazing weekend away. Our speaker for the Young Adults Retreat was Sid Koop of Truth Matters Ministries who has been speaking to youth and young adults for more than a decade across Canada including at Qwanoes. We look forward to welcoming Sid back to speak at Staff Training in June and at our Jr. High #1 camp from June 29 to July 5!
Also last weekend we had our CIT Challenge Course Instructor Training Workshop, LIT (Leader-In-Training) Training Weekend, and Counselor Training Seminar. The place was filled with high school students and young adults preparing to serve in key roles on our summer staff team and gaining valuable leadership training and experience.
