There is no speaker and no schedule. That is the offer.

Rostered and congregational leaders come for a deliberate time away. Never leave your room, or rock on the porch, or hike the trails, or kayak across the lake, or do the whole of camp life. Colleagues are around to eat and talk with if you want that, and nobody minds if you do not.

Motel-style rooms, all linens provided.

The next one is March 2–4, 2027.

Worried it will turn into a working retreat? It will not. Nobody is going to ask you to lead anything.
