2025 Family Retreat

Share family quality time in a supportive community at the beautiful Peterkin Camp and Conference Center. The retreat programming is for parents, grandparents, and guardians with children ages 5+ interested in cultivating deeper presence, joy, resilience, and connection in everyday family life. Adolescents aged 14-20 may register along with their families. Adolescents will have an opportunity to engage with their peers as well as serve in leadership roles, such as assisting with children’s groups and games. Community service hours may be earned.

Both beginning and experienced mindfulness practitioners are welcome. The retreat balances engaged activities with free time. There will be time for collective family practice and sessions for parents and children to break out into groups and engage with peers. During breakout groups, children are grouped by age. Parents will have opportunities to practice meditation together and engage in facilitated adult discussion groups.

Retreat activities include skits, games, songs, art, mindful movement, nature activities, a campfire, meditation, and mindfulness talks. During free time, optional activities may include water play, performance workshops, mindful sports, nature activities, mindful movement, arts and crafts, and parent workshops.
