Kerith Waters, Ontario

Kerith Waters, our Ontario Kerith Retreats location, is only one hour away from Toronto and provides an oasis for those seeking restoration. This lovely estate offers year-round natural splendor and immediately makes you feel as though you’ve entered another world. Relax in the luxury of 96 secluded acres surrounded by mature forests and overlooking a spring-fed pond.

In 2022 the previous owners, who used this property as an inn and wedding destination, approached Focus on the Family Canada about purchasing the property in order to operate their retreat programs for those living in Ontario and Eastern Canada. After much prayer and discernment, Focus on the Family Canada took possession in March 2023, making this the third retreat centre for couples and ministry leaders to experience rest and renewal.

Things to do:

While there are lots of things to see and do in the surrounding area, we do encourage you not to fill up your time being busy but rather take advantage of the stillness and natural beauty of Kerith Waters.

Testimonials

“I’m not used to being served. I am the one serving… but the kindness offered every moment was therapeutic. It built up my ability (and absolute love) to go back to my people and pour into them form a refreshed soul! Truly!”
