Revive Your Truest Hopes
We’re out to create a whole new kind of CAI event: a four-day conference for Christian adults. We call it CAI Haven.
To make Haven happen,
we need your help.
A four-day conference for Christian adults
WHAT IS CAI HAVEN?
A Community
for Maturity
At the Haven, you’ll find yourself in fellowship with CAI leaders, scholars, and artisans, and with other adults who share your hopes.
A Spring
of Prayer
Every morning, midday, & evening, we’ll share in Haven Prayers. Each day, we’ll hear from John’s gospel to keep our eyes fixed on Christ.
An Encounter
with Beauty
Through a film, a concert, and a feast, we’ll anticipate the New Earth’s joys together. And through discussion, we’ll strive to understand it.
A Catalyst
for Creativity
We’ll engage in artmaking with Artisan guides, and, as a testimony to ourselves and our friends, we’ll share our work at the Haven Festival.
After over 20 years making life-changing summer camps for Christian youth, our team is out to make a new kind of conference for adults.

For anyone who wants to revive their hopes for full, mature Christlikeness.
For anyone who needs joy in a time of weariness, division, and instability.
For you.
