WOMEN'S RETREAT 2026

Register here for the 2026 Creekside Women’s Retreat.

Enjoy three days of worship, rest, laughter, connecting with old friends, making new friends, praying for each other, gorgeous hikes, and discovering more about the character of God at Creekside's annual women's retreat at Mount Hermon in the Santa Cruz mountains. The 2026 retreat is January 23rd-25th. All women 13 and up are welcome. You do not need to attend Creekside to come to the retreat.

This year’s theme is, "Anchored: An Identity Grounded in Christ." Our culture obsesses over the question, "Who am I?" But the Bible focuses on the question, "Whose am I?" Only by rooting our identity in God, do we find an identity that is secure. Paul points our identity in a Godward direction. We have to understand what God has done for us and who we are as a result before we can ever live the way God wants us to live.

The retreat begins at dinner at 7:00 p.m. Friday, January 23rd and ends after lunch at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 25th. In addition to times of teaching, sharing, and worship, you will enjoy six meals in the dining hall, and have plenty of free time to hike among the redwoods and ferns on one of Mount Hermon's streamside trails, enjoy the MacAfee Fieldhouse, which features ping-pong, air hockey, and other games as well as basketball and volleyball courts, sip a latte at the coffee shop, play board games, explore boutiques and antique shops in the nearby towns of Capitola, Aptos, and Santa Cruz, browse through an excellent selection of books in the gift shop, see an old growth redwood forest at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, eat delicious ice cream at the Mount Hermon snack shop or at the amazing Marianne's Ice Cream in downtown Santa Cruz, and much more!

Mount Hermon’s address is 37 Conference Drive in Felton, California.
