Sheet music from our Father Daughter Dance and a picture of our first dance in a picture frame. *I printed the sheet music onto a piece of transparent paper and then placed the picture behind it.  I also used a floating glass frame.:
How about something unforgettable... the lyrics to the song you danced to at your wedding with your dad, WITH the picture. So sweet!

The High School Prom was a SUCCESS!

Look at all the amazing work this high school did! They had horse-drawn carriages bring the students from their school (down the street) to our lodge, had dinner in our lodge using our huge dining area and commercial kitchen to make the dinner ahead of time and then walked up to our gym, close by, which invited them into a magical world of fairy tales. It looked fantastic! And from the sounds of all the students, they not only enjoyed themselves at the dance in the gym, but also out by the pond where the trees were lighted and boat rides were given. Very well done! Way to go Garden Valley!

Weekends full of fun!

This last month has been full of fun filled weekends for us at River Canyon Retreat! We've had a couple of birthday parties...one using the lodge and one using the gym with our bounce houses! We've also had True Pearce, a professional 3-gun shooter and an Idaho attorney come and teach an Enhanced Concealed Carry Class on March 26th. We had a great turnout! Lots of educating and lots of shooting at the gun range just down the road from us (another plus to coming to our retreat).
  
We hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather! Time for all the outside fun to begin! And just fyi, the blue and green slide you see in the picture above is a WATERSLIDE! If you'd like to rent it and you live in the Boise County area, great! We'll bring it to you! Or any of the other bounce houses. Give us a call if you're interested in renting or coming to our facility!
