Why you should go on the Seabeck retreat

The annual church retreat is at the Seabeck Conference Center‍ on beautiful Hood Canal. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island and the Woodinville Unitarian Universalist Church join us there for the weekend. We promise a weekend of relaxation, fellowship, programs, and fun. For more information, contact Vicky Curry.

Accommodations

We spend two nights in rooms of the Inn, old houses, and newer buildings. You can request a room for your family, or you can share a room with others from the congregation. Sheets, blankets, and towels are provided. The Seabeck staff prepare five delicious meals which are served family-style around tables for eight. This is an excellent time to chat with members and friends from church.

Activities

Come spend time relaxing, having fun and connecting with new and old friends. Friday evening we check in and visit with each other.

On Saturday morning we have separate programs for adults and children but with a shared theme. In the afternoon, people play games, row on the lagoon, stroll through the woods, hike to the old cemetery, or simply sit in a rocking chair on the porch and soak up the conversation and sun—we hope. Don't forget to bring your bathing suit for the annual Polar Bear Swim on Saturday afternoon! Saturday evening we gather for the popular variety show.

Sunday morning the congregation gathers at the Chapel in the Woods for a service. Then, it's time to pack up the cars and enjoy lunch at the Inn before heading home.
