For lay members, ministers, pastors, and Christians and non-Christians

This retreat serves a two fold purpose; bible study and fun. Filled with activities to engage you this is a small group retreat serving up to the capacity of twelve people. It's open to anyone who wants to acquire a basic understanding of the bible, and how to study it. Fun activities include contests such as, Scavenger Hunt, wilderness Survival competition, and paddle boat races. In each contest there is a first and second place prize. This is an exciting and fun time to share and to fellowship and have a good time in God. Friday evening is Christian Theater Night where we will enjoy watching a Christian movie with delicious and delightful healthy flavored pop corn and home made fruit bars for treats. Saturday evening is Campfire Ablaze Night where we will sing uplifting songs around a glowing campfire sharing our Christian experiences. If you are gifted with playing any instrument, please bring it with you; music is encouraged. This retreat is design to bring the best out of each person. Bible Study includes presentations on, How we got our bible, Bible Timeline, Christian Martyrs, and a selected study of one of the epistles or letters. Activities include: scavenger hunt, paddle boat race, or free time to stroll around the retreat sanctuary (woods and lake) and meditate, pray, or read if desired, Wilderness Survival, and love feasts (Love feast is served three times - Friday evening, Saturday evening, and Sunday noon. This is a full meal not a typical ritual you may find in most church services.) Amenities for this retreat do not include those located in the Sankofa Wellness Center such as private sleeping accommodations, the spa and fitness room. This retreat may be scheduled by groups at any time during the months of May-September on a space available basis.
