Location: Bay Shore Camp & Family Ministries

We are so excited to have you here with us for this special time of creativity, connection, and renewal. This weekend is about more than just crafts—it’s about embracing the beautiful truth that God is constantly doing a new thing in our lives.

Throughout our time together, you’ll have the chance to explore your creative gifts, deepen your faith, and build meaningful friendships with women walking a similar path. Whether you’re feeling weary, seeking new inspiration, or simply eager for a fresh start, know that you are in the right place.

As we rise up to a new beginning, let’s surrender the old, trust God with our journey, and step into the new season He has for each of us. May this retreat be a place where joy, peace, and creativity overflow!
