Hosted by Joni and Friends Northern California, this five-day Family Retreat held at the Mission Springs Conference Center, nestled in the beautiful coastal mountains near Santa Cruz, 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 this time of respite, you will build lasting memories and find renewed hope as you take part in Bible study, accessible indoor and outdoor activities, and opportunities to connect with other families who face similar challenges. Join us for a time of fun and refreshment!
