And everything is included, so no additional costs and the only decisions are what to do in your free time! You'll leave refreshed, encouraged, and with memories that last long after you return home.

About the Retreat
ABOUT THE THEME: OUR HOLY CALLING — PAUL’S FINAL PLEA
Bound by chains in Rome during the persecution led by Caesar Nero, Paul pens his last words to Timothy. Paul encourages him to be strong without fear, hold fast to the Word of God and fight the good fight. In this letter, we now hear the voice of God encouraging all His children to do the same. Meeting us in the trenches of our lives with hope, grace and truth, God reveals to us his character and a vision for life that can withstand even the darkest of moments.

Our retreat will be at Eagle Sky of the Ozarks, located in the stunning Ozark mountains. This camp is nestled in the middle of the a peaceful and scenic 5000 acre property.
Drive slowly though the 4 mile entrance and even stop to take some picture of the bison, elk and cattle you will see as you enter…and maybe a couple of horses and donkeys too! ;)
Take some time to walk around and soak in the views, sit by their private lake, or walk along the trails.
