Thousands visit the Sorrento Retreat and Conference Centre each year to engage their heart, mind, and spirit: to be enchanted, meet old friends, and make new ones. They come to rest and relax in a place of great beauty in the Shuswap region of British Columbia. The Centre has serene surroundings and a welcoming atmosphere, a space for spiritual exploration, personal growth, and community engagement. Whether it’s a tranquil escape into the natural beauty of the Shuswap or a place for deep reflection and learning, Sorrento Retreat and Conference Centre is a haven for those seeking renewal, inspiration, and meaningful connections.
In these times…Sorrento Centre uses our economic and social impact to support and build up people and communities. Our staff, our work in welcoming thousands of guests annually and our commitment as a community hub for our neighbours in the South Shuswap adds up to a multi-million dollar economic and social benefit for our rural region. Our values, drawn from the Anglican tradition and Christian faith, lead us to respect and value the dignity of all people, all the beautiful world around us and the Divine.
As governments seek to weaponize economic and social policies to target individuals, divide us with fear and hatred and exclude some, we at Sorrento Centre will continue to use our economic and social impact as a force for good in this world that seems to embrace cruelty and targets those who are poor and marginalized due to social, gender, religious, national and other identities.
We stand for fairness, decency, diversity, love, inclusion and justice. Click here to see how we intend to live and operate more deeply in these values of peace, justice, and love.
We are a non-profit society and a charitable organization. Sorrento Centre doesn’t exist to generate profits for anonymous investors. Every penny we receive in earned income, and every donation and grant given to us, is invested in our beloved Centre, in people, place, and program. We are not only a treasured destination for many across Canada and internationally, but we are growing as a valued community hub in the Shuswap.
Kindness 2026!
Kindness is about showing up in the world with compassion and acting for the greater good of all. While being nice is about being polite, pleasant, and agreeable and doing what we think we should, kindness goes a step beyond.

A few of the groups who will discover kindness at Sorrento Centre this year are singers, peacekeepers, weavers, quilters, musicians, yogis, cyclists, meditators, animal lovers, writers, painters, and so many others.
Camping and RVs
Pull into a full-service lot or pitch a tent in the woods. Choose one of the many serviced RV spaces, pitch your tent (including some with a view of Shuswap Lake)
Cabins & Cabanas
Some may call it Glamping. There’s room for the whole family in a cabana, essentially bunk-houses and our well-appointed and adorable cabins offer year ’round comfort.
Lodges rooms
Three distinctly different lodges offer comfortable rooms/apartments with private bathrooms, spacious lounges, large patio sundecks.
Kindness
Research shows that being kind boosts the production of the feel-good hormones (serotonin and dopamine), which give feelings of satisfaction and well-being, and activate the pleasure and reward areas in the brain of the givers and receivers. Endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller, can also be released and contribute to a “helper’s high”. Kindness also fosters our sense of belonging, what we at the Centre are all about, and helps us build and strengthen our relationships.
Kindness might not make the world go ’round (we have momentum and gravity to thank for that), but kindness does certainly make the world a better place.
