Finding God in every moment

Community
Who are the people you go to for encouragement or just a good conversation? This retreat is a chance for young adults from different backgrounds to have fun and grow together in community at Camp.

Direction
Finding direction in life can be a challenge. Come hear practical Bible teaching on what it looks like to follow Jesus in your daily life and process your thoughts with friends.

Fall Fun
Take out a canoe in the early morning mist. Come try your hand at axe-throwing, archery tag or frisbee golf. Bring your camera and capture some gorgeous fall colours. Hike our 300 acres of trails or head to the docks for fishing. Play your favourite board game. There is so much to enjoy in Muskoka in Fall! (See below for more options.)
