A Holy Waste of Time: Retreat for 20s & 30s

August 14-16

Adults in their 20s & 30s from around the Diocese of Olympia are invited to our annual weekend of fun, friendship, faith, and blessed time-wasting at the Sacred Waters Center for Restoration Retreat, formerly St. Andrew’s House – a comfortable, rustic lodge situated on the Hood Canal with the Olympic Mountains just beyond.

Feel free to choose your own adventure: kayak, paddleboard, or swim the beautiful, calm waters of the Puget Sound; take a hike on the forest trails nearby; or simply read at the lodge or sit in the rocking chairs on the deck. Each evening, we’ll close with prayer and song and have time for reflections.

Creative home-style cooking is a Sacred Waters tradition; meals include nurturing entrees made with locally sourced ingredients and delicious fresh desserts. Any dietary restrictions can be accommodated.

The per-person price includes two nights’ lodging, all meals, and activities. A small number of single bedrooms are available; many are shared bedrooms (with private bath) – you can indicate your preference. Another option: we have space for tent camping! The cost is $60/person and includes campsite, all meals, activities, and full access to bathrooms and showers. You would bring the tent and be responsible for setting up and taking it down.

$150/person.
$60/person – tent camping.
