Getaway Calendar

Getaway Roles

Leader: A family who has volunteered at multiple family retreats in the past. They are responsible for running the weekend and are expected to have children in their attending party (i.e. this role cannot simply be a couple).

Host: A family who will act as the primary “camp counselors” to assist alongside the leaders. They act as the hands and feet of the retreat.

Caretaker: The “gap fillers” of the retreat. This role is primarily reserved for young couples with no/very young children, older couples, individuals, etc.

Guest: A family who has a child or multiple children affected by physical or developmental disability. There is no restriction on that child’s age, disability type, or disability severity.

Weekend Getaway*– Barren Heights is working hard to ensure each family feels welcomed, accepted, loved, and safe in our community and at our retreat center. In doing so, we are restructuring our typical retreat weekends into free weekend “getaways” to promote health and safety according to Covid-19 guidelines. While smaller and a bit different than previous retreats, they will still be a very special time for your family. Considering that these aren’t our typical retreats, any first-time guests attending this year’s getaway will be able to apply and attend a regular retreat weekend in the future!
