When the Ecola Bible School opened its doors on the CBCC grounds in 1972, Cannon Beach became a year-round facility. Ecola, although not affiliated with CBCC, brings 100 Bible school students to live on the grounds each year. In addition to the 20 spring and fall weekend adult, women s and senior adult conferences and the 12 week-long summer family conferences directly sponsored by CBCC, the conference center also hosts about 150 church or other Christian groups annually, ministering to some 14,000 guests per year. A week of summer family conference at CBCC in 2000 will run from Saturday afternoon to the following Saturday morning, nearly a full seven days. Speakers this year include Ken Needham, Neil Anderson, Bob Vernon, and Ronald Allen, continuing Cannon Beach s commitment to offering spiritual enrichment and sound Bible teaching.
Prices vary depending on the type of accommodations.
CBCC program director Janet Kerns, a Yakima, Washington, native who has been at Cannon Beach 18 years, has been instrumental in developing the family and kids programs. Patrick Sprout, the retreats manager, oversees church and guest retreats and serves as the liaison between CBCC and the Ecola Bible School. If sand sculpture contests, beach strolls, Christian music concerts, quality family and kids programming, and Christ-centered Bible teaching are your thing, we hope you will consider planning your next retreat at Cannon Beach or attending one of our conferences. Few investments you can make in your family have the potential of paying such eternal dividends as a week of Christian family camp.
