Abstract
The changing times are always a new challenge for pastors and families to adequately respond to the need of individual member of family and indeed whole families, children and parents. Holiday retreat is one of a new and effective ways to respond to the needs of a modern family. They embody three elements: 1. Relation, 2. Recreation and 3. Formation. There is already some evidence derived from an experience of many groups in Poland supporting a statement that suitably balancing all three aforementioned elements is an attractive and effective formula for whole families.
