In this year of disappointment and uncertainty, my family was grateful that we made the leap to go to Ferry Beach for the week of Family & Friends. The conference center's attention to COVID safety precautions made it easier to relax and *enjoy* a week-long vacation at the beach. While we missed many friends, we were delighted to deepen some friendships with folks who were present -- in a socially distant way, of course!

What a wonderful, relaxing, renewing six days at Ferry Beach! The staff, facility and food were great, and everything felt very safe. Lots of outdoor spaces and everyone respected social distancing. Perfect place for an individual or group retreat, which we all need so much right now! Thank you all!!

Just finished an awesome week at Ferry Beach. Things were very safe with spaced out set-ups and lodging, assigned bathrooms and sanitization practices. Food service has been modified with plenty of safety precautions and the outdoor chapel is a perfect, safe place for worship.

During the four days I stayed on campus in July, it was immediately clear that many things were different (no groups around dining tables, no crowded porch talks, no beach crowds, etc.), but some things were wonderfully the same: cheerful welcomes at registration, friendly staff at every turn, helpful accommodations at meals, appreciation expressed for our attendance, fastidious lodgings, all the same as usual! I’m so glad Ferry Beach braved the elements into a bold venture toward hosting community when we really needed it.

“My extended family has been coming to Ferry Beach for almost 40 years now and we were so sad to think of missing a summer due to the pandemic. Luckily, we were able to come to campus during Family and Friends and while it was different than our typical experience, we had beautiful beach days, masked outdoor game nights, and some online multi-generation activities - all with the feeling of the love from Ferry Beach.”
