Mother & Daughter Retreat

October 24 - 26, 2025

We invite you to step away from the noise and discover the joy of growing together in faith as a mother and daughter at Camp Carl. We’ve designed this special weekend to be an intentional time focusing on and growing in your relationship with your daughter and are confident that you’ll benefit from it. Through time in God’s word, worshiping together, and participating in guided discussions, you’ll uncover how God’s truth renews and strengthens your relationship with one another and with Him! Additionally, you’ll get to enjoy fun activities together, great food, and comfortable accommodations.

We know just how special the relationship between a mother and daughter can be; however, we also recognize that grandmothers often play an important role in a girl’s life as well. Therefore, we invite grandmothers to attend as well!

*This weekend is designed for 2nd – 12th grade daughters. We encourage those who have adult daughters to attend our Ladies’ Retreat for an opportunity to enrich your adult mother and daughter relationship.

Theme: Living in the Light as a daughter of the King

Ways to strengthen your heart and life through an understanding of who God is and who He says you are.
