The Family Experience changes families and can transform communities. As families learn to pull together, they then bring the energy, skills, and experience to your church, school, and community.
Would you consider partnering with us to help families in your community? It’s a true partnership that enables you to serve people and we focus on delivering the experience including programming, coursework, and experiential actives.
Two options
All-inclusive retreat – includes lodging, meals, at a retreat or conference center. This option would take place at a retreat center or conference center which would provide housing and meals. The location would need to have several classrooms for the teaching/discussions and an outdoor area for experiential activities.
Day Program – this option doesn’t include lodging and includes fewer meals. It can be held at your church, school, community center, or similar location. The idea is that families stay at their homes and then spend the day attending the Family Experience.
You know the needs of your community and while we prefer the all-inclusive retreat for the increased bonding time, there are financial and logistical benefits to both.
Both sessions are based on three days of programming. We typically offer the Family Experience on a Friday – Sunday schedule but can be flexible depending on your needs.
