The Family Retreat Center, located in the Cranberry Township area, is an important resource in our therapeutic work with families and communities. Each year, approximately 8,000 parents, children and teenagers attend activities at the Family Retreat Center. The facility offers special opportunities to work on family issues in a natural setting.

Community groups come to the Family Retreat Center to rebuild networks of support in their neighborhoods and reconnect family members to one another.

Business, social and faith-based organizations, schools, and other groups use the Family Retreat Center.  The facilities are perfect for retreats, conferences, training programs, picnics, outings, hiking and camping.

our mission

Working with families and neighborhood groups, our goal is to encourage positive interaction in a warm and nurturing atmosphere.  The playground and childcare facilities are designed for children of all ages. Our staff is especially trained in providing family-oriented activities and educational programming.

Try out our confidence/ropes course, learn about the great outdoors on a guided nature walk, or enjoy a hayride. In the winter, explore the country-side on skis, test our toboggan run, and warm yourself by a crackling fire!
