A sample of a day on a retreat at The Lighthouse....

8:00 am: Morning Watch

A Christian-based devotional to help find hope in God. The faith and belief statement of The Lighthouse: “God is good; God is in control; God cares; and God wants you to know Him!” is shared through a lighthearted message. 

Before breakfast, there’s time for a walk on the beach or to just hang out with your feet in the sand, sipping on a cup of coffee. 

9:00 am: Flip-Flop

Fun and friendship for the kids. While parents attend Common Grounds, the children and Family Partners attend Flip-Flop – a time of fun that incorporates music, games, crafts, swimming, and talent show practice. 

9:00 am: Common Grounds

Coffee, breakfast and parents’ group. Common Grounds offers retreat parents the opportunity to share their stories with other parents who are facing similar challenges. They often develop friendships and form support networks that last well beyond the retreat.

After Common Grounds and Flip-Flop, get ready for some fun in the sun.

10:30 am: Beach Olympics

One of the highlights of the week, filled with team spirit and high energy. Families “go for the gold” as they participate in fun beach games like sponge relays, sand castle building, egg tosses, and more! It’s a fun time to laugh together and cheer one another on.

After Beach Olympics, lunch is served.

1:00 pm: “Conched” Out

A little R & R for retreat families, volunteers, and staff.

Enjoy afternoon free time. Then after dinner, there is always a fun activity.

7:00 pm: Evening Activities

Fun-filled festivities where everyone enjoys the company of family and friends in a carefree environment. Activities include a Luau, a special night-out for the parents, a beach party, a talent show and more.
