Warm friendship in a cool place.

Try new activities, make new friends, and learn about the Bible during this five-day retreat at a scenic, historic location in Michigan's upper peninsula.

Every year is a bit different...we might get lots of snow or not much at all...we might have lots of people or a smaller group. But we always make new friends and memories that last a lifetime. This video gives the flavor of the event!
