Retreat Info

Registration & Payment

Registration can be completed online using the registration button above.
The total cost for the retreat is $100, which includes lodging, meals, program activities, and facility usage.
A $40 non-refundable deposit is required with registration to reserve your spot. This deposit is applied toward the total cost. You may pay the full balance at once, or pay the remaining balance upon arrival at the retreat.
Pastors’ wives may attend at no charge if ten or more attendees from the same church register for the retreat.
Guests staying off-site may subtract $10 from the event fee.
An additional charge applies if you arrive the night before the retreat begins.
Payments can be made through online registration, by check, over the phone, or in cash upon arrival at the retreat.

Accommodations

Each cabin includes several twin-sized bunk beds, a private bathroom and shower area, and a small closet.
Cabins are also equipped with a box fan, soap, paper towels, and cleaning supplies.
Bedding and towels are not provided for cabins or private/lodge rooms, so please remember to bring your own.
Lodge/Private Rooms: Available on a first-come, first-served basis for an additional $15. To reserve a lodge room, register online, select the option, and pay the $40 retreat deposit along with the $15 private room fee. If the lodge/private room option does not appear during registration, it means no rooms are currently available. You may contact the office by phone or email to be added to the waitlist if a room becomes available.
We strive to house attendees by church groups and roommate requests; however, cabins may be shared or groups combined as necessary.

Meals

Meals will be served in the Dining Hall, and our kitchen is equipped to provide well-balanced meals for all guests.
Allergies: We can accommodate guests with food allergies. Please indicate any allergies on your registration form. During the retreat, inform a member of the serving staff, and they will bring your meal to you.
Dietary Preferences: While we can accommodate food allergies, we are unable to accommodate special dietary requests without an allergy (such as vegan, vegetarian, or keto). Guests who follow a dietary plan by preference may bring a labeled cooler and coordinate access with the Kitchen Manager.

Dress Guidelines

We maintain a conservative emphasis on conduct and attire.
The general guideline for women is neck to the knees and loose.
This is a casual retreat. There is no expectation for ladies to wear skirts or dresses to the services; however, you are still more than welcome to do so.
