Ladies Spring Retreat

Location: Bandon, Oregon
Meeting Location: The “Barn” Conference and Community Center
Dates: April 25 – 27th, 2025

This is our third year, and it will be the best year yet! We are returning to Bandon, and we loved our time at The Barn last year, so we will use the same facility. Grab your girlfriends – include some new ladies – switch up houses if you would like – and join us for an incredible weekend away.

SUPER IMPORTANT:
Before registering, please read ALL of the following to know how we are doing things for this retreat.

COME WITH ANOTHER PERSON OR GROUP
We ask that no one come on their own but that you would come with at least one other person, if not a group of ladies. Maybe it is your discipleship group – a group of ladies you have been wanting to get to know better – or a bible study group you are involved in. We understand that some of you may not know some of the ladies from LW, and you want to get connected. We love that, and some groups have open space for you to join them – so just let us know if that is you. Email Ki*@lw**.org if that is the case, and we will connect you with a group with open spots.

RIDE TOGETHER
We ask that no one ride to Bandon alone but that the “retreat” would start the second you leave Medford until you arrive home. We believe there is a lot of value in the time spent together and going away with other women, and we tend to grow closer on car rides and sharing space. That is our hope for this retreat.

LODGING
We have rented the conference center, but your group must find lodging for the weekend. There are many different options for you to stay. Here are a few that you can check out:

Best Western Inn at Face Rock:

Sunset Oceanside Lodging

You can also look into an Airbnb or VRBO with a group of you to find a house to rent.

ATTENDANCE FOR CONFERENCE
We ask that you attend all of the sessions. We start at 3 PM on Friday and have a few things for that evening and then all day Saturday through to the evening. Every session we have will be built off the others, so it is essential that you attend all the sessions. We know this might limit some, but we also know the importance of what we are feeling led to do – so if you work on Fridays, please make sure you have that time off and can be at the conference center by 3 PM. This year, we want to meet back up on Sunday morning, but that will be optional. Once we get the schedule set, we will make sure anyone registered will get that information.

FEE FOR THE CONFERENCE
We are charging $65 for attendance. That fee will help pay for the conference center and a few other things we have planned for you. Let Kim know if you need help with that fee and we can try and figure something out for you to go.

ROOM FOR MORE
Please let us know if you or your group has space for a few more women to join you. We want to make sure that anyone who wants to come is connected with a group before you register. Adding more to your group also allows you to find a bigger place at a lower cost.

ALONE TIME
We know that being with many ladies for a weekend can be a lot. We also know that being with ladies for a few days is so good for each of us. That being said, we will also have some set times where you can be on your own for some quiet time or maybe with one or two friends – away from larger groups. We are working on things so that all of us can walk away feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready for what we face as we get home.

If all of the above works for you, please register soon so we can start planning for the number of women attending. Thank you!!
