Family Weeks

Summer family weeks are week-long retreats that equip families with tools for success through biblical teaching—success in your marriage and parenting, and in your spiritual, social, and emotional lives.

Programs for Everyone

Family weeks include spiritual worship sessions for adults, special programs for children, and plenty of free time for games, kayaking, and exploring Long Beach Island together. Your family week is sure to be a family memory for years to come!
