Getaway to Ferry Beach with the whole family for the July 4th Holiday
Get away to Ferry Beach for the July 4th Holiday as You Each Embrace Your Independence and Interconnection by Choosing Your Own Adventure at our multigenerational celebration and conference.
Choose your Dates: Sign up for the long holiday weekend (from the 1st to the 5th), the second half of the week (from the 3rd to the 8th), or double your fun by registering for the whole week (from the 1st to the 8th). All programming and lodging is 33% off for this new multigenerational conference!
Choose your Own Programming: From special holiday events like a concert by Onward, a cook-out, and fireworks on the beach to favorite Ferry Beach traditions like Polar Bear Swims, a Talent/No-Talent show, and Sing-Along around the Campfire with S'mores in the Grove, the options for fun are endless. Diverse program leaders will offer a plethora of workshop options for you and your family members to choose from including Tai Chi, Nature Exploring (such as Meditation, Walks, and Photography), various options to dance, Restorative Yoga, STEM Design Challenges, Improv Theater, Songwriting, Drumming Circle, Arts & Crafts, and different types of Games. You and your family members will choose what is most be inspiring and fun for YOU!
*This conference is a new model that highlights multigenerational interconnection in which all family members choose workshops and activities based on their interests (instead of separating into age groups). Children 8 and under will likely need a trusted responsible family member to support them in their chosen workshops so they can fully enjoy it as much as the others.
