Salmon Bake

Each year we enjoy one of our Seabeck traditions on the last evening: the Salmon Bake on the beach (weather permitting). Join us for a delicious barbeque in a spectacular beach setting.

Talent Show

After the Salmon Bake on the final evening of the retreat, adults and youth alike will have the opportunity to express their creativity and show their talents in the annual Talent Show. This entertaining extravaganza offers music, skits, drama, dance and most of all, fun. So if you sing, play an instrument, have an idea for a skit or can tell a joke, come and let your talent shine in front of a supportive crowd.
