The Queer Family Retreat 2025
With Rev. LeAnn Blackert
July 7 - 11, 2025
Welcome to a fun-filled week of joy in the glorious Okanagan Valley, celebrating queer Christian community with friends and family of all ages and life stages! We will gather at Naramata Centre to connect with one another, Creator, the Land and with ourselves, living into our values of belonging, justice and love. We’ll find time to rest, sing, run wild, play, and create!
Anyone you consider family is invited to join us – birth, chosen, found, immediate, extended, church, or otherwise. All expressions of faith are welcome, even as we draw on the Christian practices of prayer, story, and times of worship. From birth to elder years, this retreat is for all ages and stages and is led by experienced facilitators from the queer and ally community.
$125 for people 18+ – kids and youth are FREE!
Please be sure to add one “Program Fee” for each adult in your group
