August 27 Update: The elders have decided to cancel fall retreat due to

low registration and lack of team availability to pull it off.

We will spend the night at Prairie Star Ranch in Williamsburg, KS, allowing time for fun and connection. Registration covers the cost of food, lodging, swimming and facility rental.
Please bring your own linens for twin sized bunk beds.

Registration closes on Sunday, September 1st.
Final payments are due on Friday September 6th.

PLEASE NOTE: If you need to cancel last minute after you register, we will only be able to refund your housing costs. Once we sign off on the final number with the caterer, we are obligated to pay that cost regardless of how many attend.

HOUSING LAYOUT

There are two buildings with 14 rooms in each building. Each room has multiple bunk beds, and each dorm has shared bathrooms, one for men and one for women. For married adults coming without children, we will do our best to put you in the same room, but may need to split men and women up into the dorm style rooms. We will make sure you know what your rooming situation will be prior to coming!

Linens are not provided!
