Winter Retreat Message

Hi everyone,

The Winter Retreat at Camp Innabah is starting in just a few days! We've planned valuable education by top-notch speakers, exciting activities like the Family Challenge, a scavenger hunt and a massive volleyball tournament, and great, great, great food. Check out the updated schedule (as of today) here.

We'd like to remind you to register and pay by Wednesday, Dec. 26th (that's the last day), in order to avoid paying the walk-in fee. You can register here, and check out the Information page to find out more practical details.

Have a Merry Christmas, and may God bless you!
