We had such a terrific time in early August with our first-ever

Family Fun Weekend, that we decided maybe this needs to be a

regular offering for families. So, how about you consider bringing

your family this fall? We are excited to open registration for a fall

Family Fun Weekend and we'd be thrilled to welcome your family

to Riverside! 

​

Our team will be assembling an array of scheduled activities for

your family to participate in - or not! That is the great part - that

you can choose as a family how you'd like to spend your time! We

will send you a survey once you get registered and your responses

will allow us to coordinate and schedule your family's itinerary for your time in such a way that we are able to keep group sizes low and ease the ability to remain socially distant from other families in attendance. Activities will include (but are not limited to): canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, disc golf, arts and crafts, campfire, outdoor worship, and more!
