A Summer Experience for Neurodiverse Families at Naramata Centre!

Naramata Centre is thrilled to partner with Watermelon Sessions to offer an enriching and inclusive summer experience designed specifically for neurodiverse families!

While parents unwind—exploring nature, wineries, and the beauty of Naramata—kids will be engaged in a fun-filled 5-day camp led by Watermelon Sessions. For four hours each day, children will enjoy hands-on activities like baking fresh bread, visiting an alpaca farm, and ending the week with an exciting beach party!

This is more than just a camp—it’s a space where kids make new friends, build confidence, and create unforgettable memories in a supportive and joyful environment.

Spots are limited, so register today and give your child a summer adventure to remember!

Connect Spiritually

Community Life includes plenty of opportunities for spiritual connection. From inspiring morning music to sacred pause, on-site worship and spiritual guided discussions, there are plenty of ways to deepen your spiritual practice - or develop one!

  • Take some time to pause and reflect as you nourish your spirit and practice daily gratitude in this instructor-led spiritual exercise.

  • Join the drop-in sessions on Navigating Life with Spiritual Collaborator Dan Hines, or gather for sunset contemplations almost every day and share in the soulful experiences.

  • We are grateful for learnings from local indigenous leaders. Weekly “Learning on the Land” sessions offer teachings about local plants, animals and landforms. Indigenous storytelling is also incorporated into the Children and Youth Programs.

  • Wild Church is our attempt to return to the natural world to find connection with God, Source, Creator, whatever you name that which is bigger than we are. We invite you to join us on a pilgrimage into wilder space in the area for a time of activity-based reflection.
