Family Retreats

Family fun, fresh farm to table food, space to relax, and encouragement in your walk with Jesus.

Let’s have some fun!

Barnabas Landing is all about family. Every detail of our summer family retreats have been intentionally thought out to give you the best experience possible.

We want to help you reconnect with one another and to find rest and encouragement in Jesus. From world class speakers and thoughtful programming to stunning views and date nights for parents (we even put your kids to bed for you!), we can’t wait to welcome you!

Barnabas also holds parent/child retreats throughout the year that offer a unique opportunity for parents to connect with their kids one-on-one in a weekend full of adventure and quality time.
