Family Retreat

Fun and Healing for Your Family

November 1 – 3, 2024

About Family Retreat

Families to walk through the grief process together by engaging in side-by-side activities and individual therapeutic opportunities at Family Retreat. We understand every situation is different and we do our best to meet your family where you are in your grieving process. Our hope is to provide encouragement and the tools necessary for your family to grieve together.

History of Family Retreat

After 16 years of Camp Agape, we noticed that we were missing an essential part of the healing process—adults and other family members also experience grief. In 2017, Camp Agape adapted the camp curriculum to apply to the family unit while still keeping an emphasis on faith and fun. 

 

What to expect at Family Retreat:

Professional Speakers & Counselors

Leaders in the field of grief, marriage, and family therapy assist families in walking through their grief journey. These individuals have a heart for the mission of Camp Agape.

Activities

Walk hand in hand with your child(ren) throughout the weekend creating crafts, singing camp songs, playing games, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Strengthen bonds while fishing, hiking, and through creative art projects. Learn therapeutic exercises to take home to help your family through your grief journey.

Childcare

During the weekend retreat, we encourage families to enjoy the outdoors and take time for themselves. For this reason, childcare is provided during the day for children under the age of seven.

Adult Time

Many sessions throughout the retreat weekend are focused on helping parents process their grief.

Family Time

Family is the number one priority at Family Retreat. Every evening ends with family time for discussion, decompression, and bonding. Our goal is to allow for transparent communication and avoid feelings of homesickness by having family units sleep in the same cabin.

Community

At Camp Agape’s Family Retreat, we seen many individuals and families create life long friendships.
