  • The total cost for the retreat is $70, which includes lodging, meals, program activities, and facility usage.
  • A $20 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration to reserve your spot. This deposit is applied toward the total $70 fee.
  • You may choose to pay the full amount at once. If not, the remaining balance is due upon arrival at the retreat.
  • Payments can be made through online registration, by check, over the phone, or in cash upon arrival at the retreat.
  • Each cabin includes several twin-sized bunk beds, a private bathroom and shower area, and a small closet.
  • Cabins are equipped with a box fan, soap, paper towels, and basic cleaning supplies.
  • Bedding and towels are not provided for cabins or private/lodge rooms, so please be sure to bring your own.
  • We do our best to accommodate church groups and roommate requests; however, cabins may be shared with other groups as needed.
  • Meals will be served in the Dining Hall, where our kitchen provides well-balanced meals for all guests.
  • Allergies: We can accommodate food allergies. Please indicate any allergies on your registration form and inform a member of the serving staff during the retreat so they can assist you.
  • Dietary Preferences: While we accommodate allergies, we cannot accommodate special dietary preferences (such as vegan, vegetarian, or keto). Guests following specific dietary plans may bring a labeled cooler and coordinate access with the Kitchen Manager.
  • We maintain a conservative emphasis on conduct and attire.
  • The general guideline for both men and women is modest clothing that covers from the neck to the knees and is loose-fitting.
  • This is a casual retreat, and there is no requirement for women to wear skirts or dresses or for men to wear collared shirts, though you are welcome to do so.
