Anvil Retreat
Friday, June 5 – Sunday, June7
Anvil Retreat
We’re all about practicing the way of Jesus. One of the things Jesus did was rest. So, once a year as a church community we take a weekend to recharge and refocus. In previous years we called this retreat ‘Family Camp,’ but we recognize not everyone comes up as a family so, we’ve changed the name.
This is a great time for us do some outdoors activities, share great talks, and enjoy one another’s company.
Check Back soon — We’re working on this years retreat for June 5-7, 2020.

Where is the Retreat Located? How do we get there?
The Retreat is located at Daybreak Point Bible Camp, which is on Anvil Island. The island is located in the Howe Sound. It can be seen when driving down the Sea to Sky Highway in Squamish.
People must meet at Lion’s Bay Marina (Address: 60 Lions Bay Ave, Lions Bay, BC V0N 2E0). From here we take a water taxi directly to the Camp. Paid parking is available at the Marina for the weekend. Sometimes you can find parking just above the train tracks prior to entering the Marina. While the water taxi costs are covered in your payment, the parking costs are not covered.
What are the accomodations like?
The Camp is equipped with 10 ‘basic’ camper cabins. Each is equipped with a washroom (no shower) and 5-6 bunk beds with mattresses. Bedding is not provided. Check out www.anvilisland.ca to see some photos of the Camp.
Showers are located beneath the dining hall.
Note: Washrooms are on a Septic System – please be considerate.
