A Sacred Weekend Where Mothers, Mother-Figures & Girls

Build an Unbreakable Bond

 

An empowering beachside retreat where the women who love, guide, and raise tween girls come together to Reconnect, Realign, and R.E.I.G.N. Together—creating a legacy of love that lasts a lifetime.

When life gets busy, the most important relationships can get lost in the shuffle. Between school, extracurriculars, work demands, and endless to-do lists, meaningful connection can feel like a luxury you can't afford. But what if you could press pause on the chaos and invest in what matters most?

The Bonding Beach Retreat 2026 is your opportunity to step away from the noise and step into a transformational weekend designed exclusively for mothers, grandmothers, aunties, and the tween/teen girls they cherish. This isn't just a getaway—it's a divine appointment to deepen your bond, speak life into your girl, and equip both of you with tools to navigate life's journey together.


 

ABOUT THE RETREAT 

Our Vision

To create a sacred, transformational space where mothers, mother-figures, and girls step away from the busyness of life to Reconnect, Realign, and R.E.I.G.N. Together while creating a Legacy of Love.

Through intentional bonding activities, biblical principles, and personal development experiences, participants will leave equipped with tools to strengthen their relationships, embrace their true identity in Christ, and walk confidently in their God-given calling.

What Does R.E.I.G.N. Mean?

Our retreat theme centers on helping you and your young queen R.E.I.G.N. together:

Reconnect – with each other and with God
Empower – with confidence, identity, and purpose
Inspire – through faith, worship, and spiritual renewal
Grow – in understanding, grace, and love for one another
Nourish – your minds, bodies, and spirits in wholeness

 

Together, you'll R.E.I.G.N. as daughters of the King—confident, connected, and ready to impact the world.

What Makes This Retreat Different?

This isn't your typical mother-daughter event. The Bonding Beach Retreat offers:
Intimate Setting – Personalized attention and genuine connection
Faith-Centered Foundation – Every session is rooted in Scripture and Biblical truth
Beachfront Location – The beauty of God's creation provides the perfect backdrop for rest and reflection
Holistic Approach – We address spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical wellness
Age-Appropriate Content – Designed specifically for tween/teen girls and the women raising them
Practical Tools – You'll leave with resources to continue growing long after the retreat ends
Lasting Community – Connect with women who understand your journey and will support you beyond the weekend
 
 

ITINERARY OVERVIEW

 

Experience a perfectly balanced weekend of connection, growth, and rest. Here's what your transformational weekend will look like:

Arrive, settle into your beautiful beachfront accommodations, meet your retreat family, and enjoy a relaxed beach pajama party with charcuterie and games under the stars.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

Q: Is there a payment plan for the deposit?

A: You can use third-party vendors such as Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm to pay for your deposit. We offer payment plans for the remaining balance.  

Q: Where is the exact location of the retreat?

A: The retreat will be located in the area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  The exact address will not be released until you have registered. It will only be given to registered guests.

Q: What age range is this retreat designed for?

A: The Bonding Beach Retreat is specifically designed for tween/teen girls (typically ages 10-17) and the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, or mother-figures who raise and guide them. Our programming is age-appropriate and tailored to meet girls at this crucial developmental stage.

Q: I'm not her biological mother. Can I still bring my daughter/niece/granddaughter?

A: Absolutely! This retreat is for ANY woman who plays a mothering role in a tween/teen girl's life—whether you're her grandmother, auntie, foster mother, stepmother, mentor, or chosen mother-figure. What matters is the bond you share and your desire to strengthen it.

Q: What if I want to bring more than one girl?

A: Yes, additional girls and mother figures will be $750 each to ensure their meals and activities are covered. 

Q: Will we have our own room?

A: Yes! Each family will have their own private bedroom with a private bathroom. The beach house has a limited number of bedrooms, creating an intimate retreat setting while still providing privacy and comfort for each family.

Q: What should we bring?

A: Once you register, you'll receive a comprehensive packing list. Generally, you'll want to bring:
Comfortable clothing for workshops and activities
Swimwear and beach attire
Pajamas for the Friday night beach pajama party
Bible (hard copy if you have one)

Sunscreen and any medications needed
An open heart ready for transformation!
 
Q: Are meals provided throughout the entire weekend?
A: Most meals are included! We provide heavy hors d'oeuvres on Friday evening, continental breakfast and lunch on Saturday, and brunch on Sunday. Saturday dinner will be on your own at a predetermine restaurant, giving families the option to dine together as a group.
 

Q: Why is my cost for my retreat package more than what I originally selected?

A: There is a merchant processing fee added to your booking. Why? TEW Experience is taking your payment and submitting it to the vendors.  Without the processing fees, the full balance will not be paid. 

 

Q: Do we need to be a Christian to attend?
A: The Bonding Beach Retreat is grounded in Christian faith and Biblical principles. All sessions incorporate Scripture, worship, and prayer. While we welcome women from all backgrounds who are open to faith-based teaching, this retreat is designed for those who want to strengthen their relationship with God alongside strengthening their relationship with their Young Queens. We ask all participants to respect the faith-centered nature of the retreat.
 
Q: What is the cancellation policy?
A: We understand life happens. The Bonding Beach Retreat is non-refundable.  We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment. You will receive a quote once you book your reservation.
 
Q: Will there be free time built into the schedule?
A: Yes! We believe rest and relaxation are essential parts of wholeness. Saturday afternoon includes designated rest/relaxation time where families can enjoy the beach, take a walk, nap, journal, or simply be together without a structured agenda. The retreat schedule balances intentional programming with breathing room for personal reflection and spontaneous connection.
 
Q: How will this retreat benefit my Young Queen long-term?
A: This retreat plants seeds that will grow for years to come. Your Young Queen will leave with increased confidence, a stronger sense of identity in Christ, practical tools for navigating life's challenges, deeper trust in your relationship, and membership in a supportive community. You'll both receive resources for continued growth and options for ongoing connection through our Girls R.E.I.G.N. Membership, book study groups, empowerment courses, and coaching.
 
Q: What makes this different from other mother-daughter events?
A: Unlike one-day events or large conferences, the Bonding Beach Retreat offers an intimate, multi-day immersive experience. This allows for deep, meaningful connection in a way that larger events simply cannot provide. Our faith-centered approach grounds everything in Scripture, and our holistic programming addresses spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical wellness. Most importantly, we don't just inspire you for a day—we equip you with practical tools and ongoing support options to continue growing long after the retreat ends.
 
Q: Is transportation to Myrtle Beach included?
A: Transportation to and from Myrtle Beach is not included in the retreat investment. Families are responsible for their own travel arrangements. 
 
Q: Can I contact you if I have additional questions?
A: Absolutely! Your retreat leader Shonda Smith have partnered with TEW Experience to take care of the logistics for this retreat.  We'd love to answer any questions you have. Please reach out to us at retreats@tewexperience.com and we'll be happy to provide additional information.
