WHAT ARE THE FACILITIES LIKE?

Our retreat center features two indoor dorms with bunk beds and restrooms. Activities are conducted in our great room, cafeteria, and outdoor spaces. We have a soccer field, basketball court, and volleyball net. While there is a lake on the premises, we do not conduct any water sports involving the lake. The premises feature a full kitchen for our volunteers to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
