Our FocusWeekend retreats come and go... devotion remains. Over the weekend, you will learn God’s Word, build gospel‑shaped friendships, slow down to share the table, and seek God in prayer. You will leave with simple habits you can practice at home and with your church.

Our Focus

  • Cozy Fireside Lounge - Kick back by the fire! Make bracelets, play games, and hang with friends.

  • Dining Hall Cocoa Bar - Sip, play, and stay awhile! Build your ultimate cocoa, challenge your friends to a game, and laugh ‘til lights out.

  • Campfire Fellowship -  Connect, reflect, and share what’s on your heart.  

  • Sunrise Hike - Rise early, chase the light; meet us at Inspiration Point to watch the sun break over God's masterpiece.

  • Afterglow -  Unplugged worship, real testimonies and the kind of glow only His presence brings.  

  • Zipline and Goliath Swing -  Take the leap and fly high! Adventure meets adrenaline!  

  • Gift Shop will be open!
