What happens at the MOMYS Retreat in Williamsburg?
Connect with friends!
It's wonderful to have connections with people online. There is something even more special about meeting face-to-face. It's an opportunity to get to know like-minded people on a deeper level. This is great for Moms, but also for Dads and kids and young adults.
Families meeting families - amazing things can happen!

Girls Tea Party
Enjoy a lovely afternoon with friends, tasting tea and treats. Play 18th century games, and maybe try your hand with a historical colonial craft, like spinning wool or needlework.

Boys March & Drill
While the girls are enjoying tea and dainties, the boys are having a blast practicing as Revolutionary Soldiers with toy guns or sticks or whatever they can find under the careful eye of Pastor Pete and Sergeant Skip. It is a time of order, structure, and manliness!

History comes to life!
Have fun chatting with costumed interpreters at Colonial Williamsburg, at Jamestown, and at Yorktown. You might speak to a friendly crafts person doing their trade, or you might encounter one of the nation builders themselves -- George or Martha Washington, or Thomas Jefferson, or James Madison!

Scavenger Hunt
A fun way to become familiar with Colonial Williamsburg and make new friends is the challenge of finding clues for a scavenger hunt on Duke of Gloucester Street (hint: it's also known as "DOG" street).

Jamestown / Yorktown
From the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through the Revolution in Virginia's then-capital, Williamsburg, in the 1770s, through the war of Independence in 1781 with George Washington in Yorktown. Experience the living history of the foundation of America in a most enjoyable and memorable way!

Comfy, private accommodtions
Comfy, private accommodations
Private MOMYS-sized condo for each family
Your home-away-from-home retreat comes well-equipped. Some families like to bring MOMYS-sized extras (crockpot, favorite pan or knife, tupperware), but in general you have all the comforts of home with a furnished kitchen, full-size fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer, even an electric fireplace.
AND GREAT NEIGHBORS CLOSE BY!

Colonial / English Country Dancing
Dance Master Jerry Reynolds makes learning family-style dancing fun and easy! Sometimes, at first, people might feel a little timid about joining in; but Jerry makes it so playful and simple that everyone wants to dance more! We begin to learn at the All-Together-Get-Together at the beginning of the week.

Little boys break from dancing to continue playing.
Every ball needs a refreshing intermission!
