Youth & Family Retreats

Programs

Retreats that Root and Renew

Whether you join one of our Onomia-hosted retreats or design your own getaway, these experiences create space to slow down, deepen faith, and nurture connections through shared worship, joyful play, and awe in God’s creation.

​

We’re excited to offer youth and family retreats, check back soon for the next season’s schedule!

Custom Youth & Family Retreats

Designed Around Your Leadership, Your Goals, and Your Capacity

Every group has unique needs. Some leaders want complete flexibility, others prefer a collaborative partnership, and some simply want to show up and have the program taken care of. At Camp Onomia, you choose the level of support that works best for your team.
