Description
The Beach Getaway is the best of everything Ferry Beach has to offer.  Why let the kids have all the fun?  The Ferry Beach theme for 2022 is "Resilience" and we’re looking forward to take this time to spring back from the difficulties of the past couple of years with both fun and mindfulness.  We will be celebrating our return with line dancing, yoga, meditation, a Bocce tournament, bum volleyball, and drumming.  For those of us feeling creative, we’ll be making bookmarks and holiday beach-themed ornaments.  Our activities are geared for adults of all ages and abilities.  The pace is yours, take it all in or simply enjoy the beach and rocking chairs that look out over the ocean.  If you are not into agenda and timelines, you are welcome to opt out of any activities and take time to walk, hang out on the beach, create on your own, or visit with friends. 

The Getaway is a great experience for single folks, adult children and their parents, friends, couples, siblings or small adult groups.
What You Should Bring
 
  • Pillows and bedding (sheets and blankets or sleeping bag). Linens are available for $28 per bed. Linen packet includes pillow, sheets, blanket, two bath towels, hand towel, and facecloth, and may be requested when registering. All Ferry Beach mattresses have waterproof and hypoallergenic covers.
  • Towels and toiletries. If you are staying in one of our dorms (either Underwood, Quillen or Rowland) our bathrooms are communal, so we recommend bringing shower shoes.
