Retreats
The best retreating time at Wilderness is late in the crisp spring or early in the cool fall. May and September…even the first few weeks in October are great times to see the seasons dramatically change. We take seriously Psalm 46:10 and respond by offering a place where people can be still and know God. We host any number of different groups.
Men: bring a fishing group, work crew or just a group of guys who want to slow down and go deeper in God’s adventures. And bring your sons.
Women: Come up to get away from all the commotion and enjoy some good coffee, conversation and a good long paddle. Bring quilts, scrapbooks, hammers and paint brushes if you like but don’t expect cell phone service or internet. Bring your daughters.
College age: Get some friends together and come up. Introduce your colleagues to God in a rustic setting.
Mom’s and Dad’s: Bring the kids and enjoy the outdoors in a high adventure setting.
Spring Retreat – canoeing, swimming, hiking our nature trails, bird watching, taking a sauna, daily devotions, s’mores around an evening campfire, finding a good book to read from our library, fishing Seagull or surrounding lakes, or even asking the staff if there are any chores you can help them with.
Winter Retreats – Crackling cabin fires, snowshoes, cross country skiing, quinzees, broomball, fishing, even take a sauna and jump in the lake. With the right clothing winter can be some of the most rewarding time up here.
Retreat groups are provided with a place to gather, cabins for sleeping, and meals for the duration of their stay. All of our meals are served from Pinecliff lodge. You can count on good food and homemade bread. Our summer camper cabins serve as our retreat housing. You can expect bunk beds in most cabins with room for 6-10 people. Limited cabin space is available with full size beds to accommodate couples. We use outhouses for bathrooms. In the summer months, showers are available at our sauna. In the winter months, showers are available in Pinecliff.
Call for details. Retreat groups are responsible for their own Christ centered programming. We will provide meals and excursion guides.
