Mentor Retreat 2024

You’re invited to attend!

What and when is it?:

The Journey to Heal Ministries Mentor retreat is taking place the weekend of February 23rd-25th at the beautiful, newly renovated, Holiday Inn Resort on Wrightsville Beach at 1706 N. Lumina Ave! We’re taking time this year to gather our Board and Mentor Team, to join in a time of rest, team building, and fun at the beach!

What we're taking care of:

Journey to Heal Ministries can cover 2 nights of lodging costs for up to 14 Board Members and Mentors (rooms are $336/night plus taxes and fee’s). We’ve given active senior mentors the first opportunity to RSVP for one of those spots by Dec. 27th, after which we will make remaining spots available to everyone on our team. These spots cover the cost of lodging for Friday and Saturday at the resort, along with breakfast on Sat/Sun and dinner for our entire team on Saturday night. We'll also be providing retreat materials and treats during your stay. Rooms are non-smoking, double occupancy, oceanfront, with two women per room.

What you'll need to cover:

If you plan to stay with us at the resort, you'll need to provide your own transportation to and from the retreat, along with your dinner on Friday, lunch on Saturday, and any snacks or incidentals you might need during your stay. If you’re flying into Wilmington, we will try to arrange a member of our team to pick you up and take you back on Sunday. We also recommend using Uber or Lyft.

What if spots are taken but you still want to participate?

If you want to attend but we don’t have any paid rooms left, we will do our best to work something out! Reach out to Crystal@journeytohealministries.org to see what alternate options are available. You can also visit the resort website and book a room directly HERE. There are also some good deals on Priceline and Expedia, too, for our dates.

What we'll be doing at the retreat:

Making valuable connections through fellowship, team building, resting, beach walks, and enjoying some quiet time with God! Bring your bathing suit for the Jacuzzi and indoor pool and some team activities, warm layers, a raincoat, and comfortable walking shoes. There are miles of beach front to explore!
