Family Retreat

Join Westminster families as we share our stories, grow in our faith, have meals together, enjoy a campfire and s’mores, worship together, and have a lot of fun. This intergenerational retreat is open to all families with children or youth, from the nursery-12th grade! Rev. Scott Planting, our new Adult Formation Director, will lead us in our theme Walking in the Woods. This is a wonderful opportunity to “get away,” have fun and fellowship with Westminster families, and enjoy the outdoors. 
Location

The Claggett Center in Adamstown, MD, run by the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, is situated on 268 acres with a working farm and fantastic views of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Monocacy River Valley. Just south of Frederick, it is about an hour and a half drive from Westminster. Check-in/Check-out time is roughly 10am-noon.

Cost

Ziplining on Sunday, which will be right after checkout (approximately 11:00 a.m.), is available for anyone who is interested. Cost is $15/person.
