The Seabeck UU Retreat is an intentionally inclusive and multi-generational annual church retreat over Memorial Day weekend at the Seabeck Conference Center overlooking the Olympic mountains on the Hood Canal The retreat offers Something for Everyone and is a wonderful way to get involved and more connected with members of East Shore, University Unitarian and the Northlake UU congregations.

Seabeck is made for kids, with three playgrounds, a treehouse, a beach, and kid-friendly meals. The location is very safe, and many parents feel comfortable letting their kids roam the grounds – giving many kids an experience of adventure and freedom they may not be used to in the city. Friendships are made and renewed each year during the retreat.

Mornings

Saturday and Sunday mornings include children and youth programming from 9 am to noon. Each classroom has a lead teacher with parent volunteers to assist. Classes have typically been about 4-8 children and the planned age breakdown for the groups are:

• Pre-K–2^nd grade
• 3^rd–5^th Grade
• Middle School
• High School

Activities vary depending on the age of the group and in the past have included drawing, puppet making, other arts and crafts activities, nature hikes on the trails on Seabeck Grounds, or a visit to the civil war era cemetery behind Seabeck. The High School group has a chaperoned sleepover on Saturday night and this year may participate in the featured speaker program which is exercises in improv.
