The workshops are designed to bring together creative people who value making new connections and experimenting with new mediums in a laid back environment.
You'll have the option to gather after-hours around the bonfire or in the studio's cozy lounge to connect, play games, and unwind with your fellow crafters.
Community
Oona River boasts spectacular views and magical woodland trails. Easy-to-medium difficulty hikes will be led, weather depending, for those looking for a little adventure.
Time In Nature
With both intentional and optional downtime, the retreat allows time to unwind and connect with your surroundings.
Stay indoors and get cozy with a good book or step outside and get acquainted with Oona River. Take a walk through the bog trail and encounter the unique flora and fauna of the bog ecosystem. Follow the map down dirt roads and explore the history of this quaint fishing community. Stroll down to the water and watch the seabirds dive where the river meets the sea.
Rest
With a maximum of 6 crafter’s your experience will be intimate and personalized.

LOCATION
Oona River is a tight-knit island community composed of full time and summer residents. Oona Riverrites share an appreciation for our beautiful natural surroundings, the ocean and our good old 10:00 coffee break. For over 120 years Oona River has been home to boat builders, fishermen and foresters. Our community carries on many traditions that allow us to continue to live and work on the north coast.
​
Oona is located 40km from the town of Prince Rupert on Porcher Island. We are a remote community only accessible by boat, helicopter, and floatplane. There are no stores in Oona, only forest trails and stunning ocean lookouts.
​
Oona is the perfect weekend getaway to immerse yourself in nature and reconnect to your creativity.
THE HOUSE
Shared logging in a rustic home with a private room.
Green Cabin
Private riverside cabin, nestled in amongst the trees.
Rainbow Cabin
A unique private cabin overlooking the river. Or share with a friend.
