Check in begins Friday at 5:00. Please plan to arrive by 6:30 for dinner.

Check out is after Sunday brunch (around noon).

This event is for women ages 18 & up. While we love our children, this time is important for us to get out of our normal routine and being "needed"-- and rest and connect with other like-minded women. We'll return home equipped to continue becoming the woman, wife, mom, friend & daughter that we are called to be.
