Take A Family Vacation with 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!
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 a fun, family, fireside, 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 Q‑Town sessions will include singing, fun skits, interaction, and sharing.
Here are some other highlights:
- Quality Children’s & Youth Programs
- Sports and Activities (some activities have age restrictions)
