Family Programs
Shared memories help families to stay together, especially when busy lives keep us apart so often. Camp is a great place for everyone to enjoy as individuals and as families. There are many ways for your family to get involved and for us to support each other through the ministry of Kuriakos.
Retreats
Family Day Getaway
February 14-17, 2025
$235/adult $180/kid max $650/family
Theme: unKNOWN
Have you ever wondered if you matter? Does God really know you? Come explore some unfamiliar characters in the Bible and see how God knows each of us fully.
Give your family a weekend to connect at Kuriakos... and let us take care of the details.
Participate in "Messy Church", with games, crafts and activities incorporated into the Bible Study and Worship times.
Then, spend time outdoors with things you can only do at the lake... like Milk Jug Curling, bonfires, and stargazing.

Spring
Work Week (18+)
May 12-16, 2025
Family May Days May 16-18, 2025
Service weekends are a great opportunity to work and play together. They're also essential to our annual operations, accomplishing tasks that are needed to keep things looking spiffy and working well.
All ages
are welcome, there is something for everyone to do to help out. Tools and
equipment are provided, although you may choose to bring your own.
When not working, there will be games, worship, campfires, and time to hang out
with new friends. Consider inviting someone new to Kuriakos, and sharing this community with them. You provide the labour, we provide the food, accommodations,
activities, worship, and jobs that need to be done!
Family Adventure Weekend
September 19-21, 2025
$185/adult $130/kid max $420/family
Work on your camping skills with your kids! We'll cook on the fire, pack a canoe, and sleep outside (if you want to). Try building a shelter, identifying forest flora, or practicing your navigation skills.
If you're up for it, you'll also obtain your Paddle Canada Intro Lake Canoe certificate and go on an overnight canoe trip.
This program is designed for families to learn outdoor skills together so you can put these skills to use after camp. Family friends are welcome to join your family for the weekend!
