2023 RETREAT DATE:
Jun 04 - Jun 10

Ocean City, Maryland offers 10 miles of free, clean, sandy beaches on the Atlantic Ocean and a myriad of fun-filled activities for vacationers of all ages.  Ocean City has a 2.5 mile boardwalk with lots of entertainment for kids of all ages!  It is Maryland’s “All American City”, yet remains laid back, exciting, and entertaining all at the same time.  The community in Ocean City has embraced Little Pink families to create an amazing, once in a lifetime retreat experience.

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