Calling all young adults (ages 18-35)! United Church folks & friends in BC, Southern Alberta, the Yukon and beyond - we invite you to travel to the largest island in Howe Sound, surrounded by trees and water for a long weekend of rest, community and fun. We'll have good food, meaningful conversations, late night board games, great music and campfires (weather permitting!) It's a weekend you'll want to show up for.
