what we do to proVIDE PEACE
Enjoy The Retreat's 72 acres of wildlife-filled hiking trails, hardwood groves, butterfly sanctuary, and more, all designed for minimum impact.
Since 1945, The Retreat has been caring for and nurturing this slice of heaven on earth. Come nourish your mind, body, and soul.
Originally the type of classic summer camp one sees in movies, The Retreat has evolved into a first-class conference center.
The site and the buildings retain their classic charm. Rustic touches--stone altars, hanging greens, complete the serenity.
