Want to spend some quality one-on-one time with your kiddo? Rejuvenate your family connection with a campy weekend in a fresh, fun environment.

As a parent/guardian, you may spend the majority of your days with or around your kiddos, but are you making time for intentional connection? If there are multiple kids in your family, would one in particular benefit from dedicated time with a parent/guardian? This three-day weekend retreat is meant to provide an opportunity to (re)build connection in a fun and meaningful way, while also connecting with other parent/child pairs.
