Ladies Retreat
September 11-13, 2026
Throughout our time together, we will have entertaining activities, time to rest, and amazing food! Our time will center around sessions that will challenge us from God’s Word and encourage us to grow in our faith together as women. Join us for a transformative weekend!
Theme: Seen
Living known, whole, free and purposed!
Every woman longs for it. We do crazy things to accomplish it. And more often than not, we compromise our comfort, joy, peace, and identity to establish it. It’s usually after many years of striving, spiraling, and sacrificing that we finally realize what we had hoped to experience all along. We hope to experience a God who is close, personal, and intimately involved in the details of our lives. We long to be seen!
Friend, many of us take on the title of ‘Christian’ and never truly live in an abundant love relationship with Christ, a relationship that is so satisfying that we long for NOTHING else. My prayer for this weekend is that each of us leave with a deeper knowledge of how the Lord intimately knows us, entirely heals us, wildly frees us, and specifically commissions us to His holy work. Utilizing the wisdom of God’s unchanging Word, storytelling, humor, and intentional activities designed to draw you right to the heart of our Father, I pray this ‘eye-opening’ weekend leaves you confident that you are Seen! Living known, whole, free, and purposed!
Guest Speaker: Josie Valley
Josie is passionate about the hearts of women and uses her writing and teaching to lead and encourage them in all seasons of life. Over the years, the Lord has used her Bachelor's degree in hospitality management and business paired with her Master's degree in Biblical counseling to adequately prepare her for serving women as either counselor, ministry leader, mentor, Bible teacher, sister, or friend. Josie is the Women’s Director at King’s Cross Church in downtown Cleveland, OH and the founder of Minutes Matter, a community and outreach ministry that God put on her heart back in 2011. She believes that women who make their Minutes Matter know what it is that matters most: loving Jesus, honoring family, serving others, fearless faith, authentic relationships, and living a life of intention and purpose! She desires to live this every day and hopes to journey alongside other women, encouraging them to do the same! Josie would love to connect with you!

Why Camp Carl?
Camp Carl is fully committed to partnering with families in the nurturing, development, and guidance of children and adolescents. We believe this week – and every week – matters in the life of a child. So we plan to make this a time they’ll never forget!
This is achieved through our positive, energetic emphasis on a personal relationship with God through Christ Jesus, and the understanding that everyone is created in the image of God.
