So many exciting retreats coming up!!
This year, at Camp Chickagami weβre hosting retreats for adults, families, and everyone in between β and there is a spot with your name on it.
Whether you're carrying the weight of the world, hungry for something deeper, looking for a few days in nature with people you love, or simply overdue for a weekend away from the noise β these retreats are designed for you. Each one is different in shape and spirit, but all share the same foundation: a place that has been forming people for nearly a century, good food, real community, and room to breathe.
