Men: are you looking for a weekend of spiritual enrichment and exciting activities all rolled into one? Are you excited for a quick break from your normal routine? If so, check out our annual Men’s Retreat!
You can attend this January event as an individual or with your church. You’ll worship together and hear powerful messages from our chapel speaker, play basketball in the gym, compete against friends on the giant inflatable joust, try your hand at hatchet throwing, eat lots of delicious food, and fellowship with others. We’ll take care of all the planning so you can relax, have fun, and learn more about the Creator.

March 19-22, 2026
Shootin’, fishin’, and Jesus… need we say more?
Minimum Age: Must be 8 years old by March 19, 2026
Whether you’re experienced or somewhat new to shooting, archery, or fishing, you’ll have a great time at our Sportsmen’s Retreat. Each year, roughly 600 men from all over the Midwest join us for this weekend of shooting, fellowship, and delicious food.
Once each year, we convert our property to a series of 10-12 shooting ranges: indoor and outdoor archery ranges, as well as outdoor ranges for pistols, skeet shooting, and rifles.
If you need a break from the ranges, check out the myriad of other activities available throughout the weekend. We host chapel sessions with great speakers and awesome worship time. There are also several educational workshops held on Friday and Saturday that cover topics in shooting, hunting, fishing, and more.
We host a silent auction during each Sportsmen’s Retreat, with outdoor equipment and artwork up for bid. All proceeds benefit our outdoor summer programs like Wilderness Camp and Fishing Camp. We also have a big Buy/Sell/Trade event each year, so bring your gently used items to sell, or shop around for something you might need.
As always, you can spend time at the pool and hot tub or out on a hiking trail as well. Participate in as many or as few events as desired!

Calling all Dads: Are you looking for an opportunity to get away from your busy life to spend quality time away with your kids? Consider attending our Just You & Me, Dad! retreat.
We’ll provide all the food and activities for this 24-hour overnight event. Plan on playing lots of games, watching your kids compete in fun contests, making crafts for Mom, riding horses, and defeating our 40-foot climbing wall!
We’ve purposefully planned this retreat for the Friday and Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend, meaning Mom can have a small break while you’re away with the kids. But don’t worry, you’ll be home Saturday night, just in time for her special day!
