Conference Events:

Each morning there will be a children and youth program led by a visiting team of volunteers.  During the same time each morning we have a times of praise and worship followed by a teaching session led by our speaker.  After these sessions we generally have tea/coffee and then a small group session where we will discuss and apply what we learned in the previous teaching session.

After lunch each day is free time: you can swim, go on nature walks, sleep, read, play games, ride on a boat, etc!

After supper, we will have times of worshipping the Lord together, testimonies, and getting to know each other!

Movie Night — on this night we will watch a family appropriate movie on a big screen. (You might want to bring popcorn for this!)

On Thursday morning, strong and adventurous swimmers are challenged to  participate in the annual 2.5 ‐ 5KM swim.  Participants are encouraged to prepare in  advance of this lengthy swim.
