A Holy Waste of Time: Retreat for 20s & 30s

Adults in their 20s & 30s from around the Diocese of Olympia are invited to our annual weekend of fun, friendship, faith, and blessed time-wasting at St. Andrew's House, a gorgeous rustic lodge situated on the Hood Canal with the Olympic Mountains just beyond. 

Feel free to choose your own adventure: kayak, paddle board, or swim the beautiful calm waters of the Puget Sound; take a hike on the forest trails nearby; or simply read in the lodge or sun on the deck. We'll also offer some optional activities: yoga, music, and arts 'n' crafts. Each evening we'll close with prayer and song and on Sunday morning we'll celebrate Eucharist together.

Creative home-style cooking is a St. Andrew's House tradition; meals include nurturing entrees of locally-sourced foods and delicious fresh desserts. Any dietary restrictions can be accommodated.

The per-person price includes two night's lodging and all meals and activities. Single/couple bedrooms are available - please specify your preference.

Because of COVID we are limited to 15 people for this year's event, giving us plenty of room to spread out. We'll ask for proof of vaccination as a further precaution.

$110/person. Partial scholarships available.
