Families & individuals young and old, are invited to join us at the Jackson’s Point Retreat & Conference Centre for a special weekend of serving, worshiping, and experiencing community together! This is a unique opportunity to work side‑by‑side, help restore and refresh our grounds, and enjoy a meaningful time of fellowship– all offered freely!

Over the course of the weekend, individuals of all ages will come together to help care for and prepare our property for the busy retreat season ahead. From simple outdoor tasks to light maintenance projects, there will be opportunities for all ages and every skill level to contribute! Our goal is to create a space where groups and guests can step away from everyday life and encounter our triune God!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! We love kids here, and we would love to have your young ones be part of this day. We will have a fridge and microwave available for you. If you have a high chair, it’d be good if you brought it! We’ll also have “family/nursery room” filled with toys. We will also have some volunteers available to provide child care for kids 4-12.

    Sure – your four-year-old may not be able to take on building a new deck…but there’s something he or she can be a part of – and we think the experience will provide a great learning opportunity for your child and for all of us!

  • No! We will provide all of the tools you’ll need. It would be helpful if you brought your own work gloves, though, but if you don’t have any – no problem. If you have trade skills and would like to help with a skilled project using your own tools (but we also will also have tools available). But – keep in mind that you do not need to bring anything.

  • Absolutely! We’re all a part of Christ’s family– each of us has a part to play!
