Women's Retreat
Come to the Waters
Step out of your usual routine. Gather near Camp Hanover’s lake. Reflect on the gift and responsibility of water in connection to the places in our lives where we feel parched and distressed, and the places we find nourishment and refreshment. We’ll find time to rest and recreate, connect and be quiet, pray and play.
This weekend of faith and fellowship in the beautiful setting of Camp Hanover helps women get away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. We take care of the details, so you can relax and enjoy time away. Come alone, or with friends!
Dinner on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday are included. If you decide to add on lodging for Saturday night, we can recommend local options for dinner.

Your Retreat Leaders
Carla Pratt Keyes and Allison El Koubi first experienced women’s retreats years ago, while part of University Presbyterian Church in Baton Rouge, LA. Those delightful, nourishing retreats have inspired the one we’ll share at Camp Hanover.
Carla Pratt Keyes
Carla pastored churches in Louisiana and Georgia before moving to Richmond. She’s been pastor of Ginter Park Presbyterian Church in Richmond for 17 years and loves its commitment to cultivating community, practicing hope, repairing harm, and doing justice.
Allison El Koubi
Allison is a lifelong educator and spent the past two decades as a teacher, then principal in Louisiana and Richmond public schools. She believes in the power of gathering people together to form new and authentic connections. A few months ago, she started a small business Home From Away, which seeks to bring people *home*: to themselves, to each other, to the land. She is transforming a cabin and barn/pavilion in Greene County into Idyllwood, an idyllic mountain retreat space that fosters connection and renewal.
