Holiday Bible Week afternoons, designed for both adults and youth, are filled with outdoor pursuits like water skiing, ocean kayaking, the climbing tower, beach volleyball and island boat tours. Guests may choose to take time to reflect on the beauty of God’s Creation with an afternoon stroll through the forest trails or relax in the shade of our ocean-view patios with a refreshing treat from the snack shop.
