Blue Ridge
Georgia
2025 RETREAT DATE:
Jun 15 - Jun 21
Blue Ridge is a perfect mix of old and new, with amazing shopping and dining in a quaint small town setting. Blue Ridge has an artsy vibe, with a vibrant arts scene, local art galleries and great community theater.  Your family will relish the small town feel while exploring everything in Blue Ridge.  Named for the southern reach of the Appalachian Mountain Range that stretches into the area, the City of Blue Ridge boasts beautiful mountain views. With key water features, such as Lake Blue Ridge and the Toccoa River, Blue Ridge provides many wonderful water-based family activities and is the Trout Fishing Capital of Georgia.

The financial environment of not having to pay for anything was a huge stress relief, and that is priceless.
