LITTLE HARBOR MEMORIAL DAY FAMILY RETREAT, CATALINA ISLAND, MAY 22-25
Join us for a small, private, family-friendly Memorial Day retreat at Little Harbor - one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on Catalina Island.
This is a non-commercial, small-group campout for people who love nature, ocean air, space, creativity, and a calm, warm atmosphere.
The group size is intentionally limited to keep everything quiet, simple, and comfortable.
Children are welcome.
🏴‍☠️ TREASURE ISLAND QUEST FOR KIDS (GUIDED | OPTIONAL)
A highlight of the retreat.
A fully guided, immersive Treasure Island adventure designed especially for children, with:
• maps, clues, symbols
• small costume elements
• teamwork and imagination
• a real treasure at the end
Our main pirate, Artem, will lead the expedition.
Adults are welcome to relax nearby or observe from the side.
Participation is optional and requires advance sign-up.
BEACH & NATURE ACTIVITIES (OPTIONAL & RELAXED)
Throughout the retreat, families may create, host, or invite others to simple activities they enjoy.
Some examples include:
• Sand obstacle course (kids & adults, separate times)
• Sandcastle building
• Paddle boarding & kayaking
• Snorkeling and tide-pool exploring
• Easy hikes with ocean views
All activities are optional - join if it feels good, skip if you want rest and quiet.
🎨 SHARED ENRICHMENT & CREATIVE ACTIVITIES
This retreat invites shared experiences, not scheduled programming.
Participants are welcome to offer simple enrichment activities for others, such as:
• a craft table
• a nature walk
• a short movement or dance activity
• a game for children
• storytelling or creative play
If you would like to host or invite others to an activity, please let us know in advance so we can coordinate space and timing.
🎶 MUSIC UNDER THE STARS
Evenings may include calm, informal music by the fire - simple melodies, songs, or quiet listening under the night sky.
We will have a keyboard available.
If you or your children play an instrument, sing, dance, or wish to share something creative, you are warmly invited.
This is not a performance or concert, just a gentle creative circle.
Advance sign-up is requested so we can prepare the space.
🍲 FOOD & COOKING
We do not organize shared meals.
Each family brings their own groceries and cooks independently.
There will be shared space and a checklist of recommended equipment provided in advance.
Basic coordination is offered, but food choices remain personal.
