Family Retreat Michigan Week 3

June 22, 2026 - June 26, 2026

Hosted by Joni and Friends Illinois, this Family Retreat located on the beautiful Lake Michigan shore is designed to serve families living with disability. In a fully accessible camp environment, families are cared for, rejuvenated, and encouraged in Christ. Come enjoy a fun, Christ-centered environment that is safe and accepting for each member of the family.

During your time of respite and refreshment, you will build lasting memories and find renewed hope as you take part in Bible study and accessible activities (swimming, boating, and horseback riding!), all while connecting with other families who face similar challenges. Come for inclusive worship, evenings under the stars, time in God’s Word, and encouraging messages from our speakers—it’s a little slice of heaven!

Family Cost:

$560 per person
