Welcome Crafters to Kawkawa Camp and Retreat Centre in Kawkawa Lake BC.
Home of all Lower Mainland Creative Women's Week Retreat Dates
You’re about to step into a beautifully immersive seven-day creative escape at Kawkawa Camp & Retreat — a peaceful lakeside setting designed to help you slow down, settle in, and let your creativity take center stage. Tucked along the shores of Kawkawa Lake, and surrounded by the stunning mountains of Hope, this serene retreat space offers the perfect balance of comfort, nature, and inspiration.
Between crafting sessions, step outside to breathe in the fresh mountain air, wander lakeside paths, dip your toes in the water, or simply sit with a coffee and take in the quiet beauty of the lake and forest around you. The peaceful rhythm of nature replaces the rush of everyday life, creating space to recharge, reconnect, and reset. Get ready forthe kind of calm that comes when everything is thoughtfully taken care of.
Come create, connect, and exhale.
Creative Women’s Week at Kawkawa Lake is waiting.
