Summer Retreat 2025 – It’s Time to get Registered!

Cabins and Lodge space are getting full, so Registration time is now!

Are you longing for long, warm days spent enjoying Kootenay Lake-splashing, paddling, floating, wading, walking forest trails, digging your toes in the sand, reading a good book, napping after a good meal, great inspiration from the evening services and time spent after with friends by the fire or playing cards. Come for adventure and chilling out - consider booking a week at The Harbour at Riondel for a vacation this year. Aug 18 – 22.

Pastor Matt and Andrea Sampson from Kelowna will be the Camp Speakers.

Also, if you would like to and are able to support someone or a family to be able to go to camp, please email office@kcfoffice.com to arrange that.
