Women's Retreat 2026
April 10 -12 | April 17-19
Camp Au Sable - Grayling
Hello Ladies!
You’re Invited to join us for our Cozy Cabin theme this year at Women's Retreat.
Cozy—it’s a word that instantly makes you want to curl up by the fire with a blanket, hot cocoa, and a good book. That’s the heart of our Cozy Cabin Women’s Retreat at Camp Au Sable.
Join us for a refreshing getaway filled with meaningful road-trip moments with friends, new friendships waiting to be made, and time set aside to strengthen and renew your love for Jesus. Enjoy valuable seminars, heartfelt laughter, quiet moments of prayer, and space to rest your soul in God’s presence.
Come away, get cozy, and let Jesus fill your heart.💛
