Adult & Family Programs
Come up to camp for some “unplugged” time with family and friends, both new and old. We offer programming for both adults and kids, free time for hiking, fishing, napping, games, and simply enjoying the beauty of the Boulder River Valley—and other activities and worship designed for all.
Options include a work weekend to help get camp ready for the season, a continuing education week for clergy and interested laypeople, and a weekend family camp. Christikon staff serve as hosts, offer options for children during adult sessions, and lead games, hikes, worship and other activities. Meals are made from scratch and served family-style around large tables.

Continuing Education Retreat
July 28-31 | Tuesday dinner through Friday breakfast/worship
Christikon is delighted to welcome Paul Vasile — church musician, composer, and teacher — as our presenter for the 2026 Continuing Education Retreat. Paul is known for his collaborative approach to worship and his work equipping communities to sing and pray together with renewed imagination.
From Paul:
We’ll share in worshipful play and playful worship that engages the body, mind, spirit, and voice. Explore how our community gatherings (for worship, formation, and fellowship) can nurture creativity, freedom, and collaboration as we:
- play and improvise with scripture and poetry
- write our own prayers and songs
- move and dance
- engage in community learning that deepens and expands our awareness of the Holy One’s presence in our lives
Daily worship services will be the sandbox where we embody what we learn and welcome the gifts of our intergenerational community.
- Tuesday Evening – How Shall We Come Together?
- Wednesday Morning – I Am In You, You Are In Me, We Are In God
- Wednesday Evening – The Play of the Godhead
- Thursday Morning – When There’s Trust in the Room
- Thursday Evening – Who Are We Becoming?
Bring an open heart and a curious mind! You may appreciate having a journal to reflect on what you notice as we worship, play, and learn together. And you’ve very welcome to bring an instrument if you’d like to share in planned and/or unstructured music making and improvisation throughout the session.
$325 per adult | $160 per children ages 7-12 | no charge ages six and under | $800 Max per family | $50 deposit on registration | *Family Maximum presumes parent/guardian and their children 17 years old and under.
