Outdoor Education
During the school year, we work directly with teachers and schools to offer field trips that nurture students’ relationship with nature and weave academic content into outdoor activities. Programming is available for half-day, full-day, overnight, and week-long trips for PreK-12th grade. Click our Outdoor Education tab above to check out our website.
Immerse Internships
This program consists of 9 months of work training, life skills, and spiritual development for young adults ages 18+. College students in a variety of majors needing credit or internship hours are encouraged to meet one-on-one with staff to formulate a plan that will align this experience with their school’s requirements. It’s a great opportunity to build work experience and mature in ones’ relationship with God and others. Click the tab above to apply now.
Rentals & Retreats
Our cabins, cottages, kitchens, meeting rooms, and grounds are available for hosting events and retreats throughout the year such as business meetings, staff development, church retreats, family reunions, etc. Renting our facilities during the off-season helps make summer camps and field trips more accessible to those coming from low-income communities.
