Step Away from the Noise. Come Rebuild Together.
THE FAMILY FREEDOM RETREAT
Come apart together — before your family comes apart.
Most families are running on empty and calling it normal. Parents pouring out with nothing being poured back in. Children growing up in the same house but living in different worlds. Everyone busy — no one connected.
The Family Freedom Retreat is four days set apart to change that… on the weekend our nation celebrates freedom. Because freedom isn’t just something we remember. It’s something we pass down. And it starts at home.
This is not a conference you sit through. It’s an experience your whole family walks through, parents, children, and everyone in between. You’ll laugh together, play together, rest together, and learn together. And you’ll go home different than you came.
What makes this retreat unlike anything else:
Real help, not just good talks. Licensed therapists join us on-site… leading practical workshops for parents and couples, and available to meet with families throughout the retreat. This is where breakthrough gets personal.
Empowerment for every generation. Sessions designed for parents, experiences designed for children and teens, and moments built for the whole family in one room. No one is dropped off at childcare while the “real retreat” happens elsewhere. Your children ARE the retreat.
A resort your kids will beg to return to. We chose Great Wolf Lodge on purpose. America’s premier indoor water park resort means every session ends and the fun begins…water slides, wave pools, and family adventure under one roof. Rain or shine, the memories are guaranteed. Sessions are scheduled so families have real time to play; some of the most important moments will happen in the lazy river, not the meeting room.
Freedom that goes deeper. On Juneteenth weekend, we’ll celebrate the freedom our ancestors prayed for — and confront what still holds our families captive today. Teaching from Bishop Vincent Mathews Jr. and the Family Freedom team on the biblical foundations that hold families together in this hour.
