We’re off to Anvil Island!

Friday, June 19 - Sunday, June 21

We’re looking forward to being back on Anvil Island for our annual weekend retreat.

Anvil Island is situated in beautiful Howe Sound, north of Horseshoe Bay. The summer camp facility features a central kitchen / dining hall with surrounding cabins and lodges. There are many activities (see below) and plenty of chances to relax.

This weekend is an opportunity to get to know each other better. Newcomers are especially encouraged to take advantage of this once a year chance to spend extended time together.

If you have questions about the camp or the retreat, ask Vania (the coordinator) or anyone who has been at Marineview before!

 
 

The Program

Come and enjoy a weekend of great simple meals, times of worship and prayer, reflection and discussion, and games and activities. There will also be plenty of time to spend on your own or with your family.

Free time activities include:

  • Indoor / outdoor sports: swimming, water sliding, hiking, frisbee golf, basketball, volleyball, gaga ball, floor hockey, etc.

  • Crafts, board games, naps, studying, coffee, chatting, etc.
