This is a recurring event every year, however 2026 is the third in a rotation, when we invite spouses and children to join in fellowship.
It is organized by fellow missionary kids and sponsored by WELS World Missions; we invite you to use your passions and gifts to join us in planning (email us at welsmkretreat@gmail.com).

There is complimentary room and board at Green Lake Conference Center. There will be Bible Study, "TCK" Workshops, and breakout groups for Missionary Kids and spouses. Expect childcare and structured activities for kids of all ages. Camp led activities, outdoors time, board games, international snacks, stories, and s'mores.
Population
This event is for anyone who spent childhood years on WELS world mission fields, who are now adults (15+). Spouses and children are invited to connect with the MK in their family, bond spiritually, and meet old and new friends. If you are a minor MK (15-17 years old), you will be completely taken care - surrounded by other MKs your age, chaperoned, and in a dorm style building.
