Reserve a building - for your family, roommates, household, or yourself - to get away from the routine of your daily life. Unplug from the busy world around you and surround yourself in the beauty of God's creation.
A chance to slow down, craft together, play games together, explore how the Spirit is moving in your life, share some scripture, pray together, and listen anew for God calling in your midst.
Relax. Reconnect with loved ones. Retreat to Silver Lake.

At Silver Lake, we believe an important part of the retreat experience is spending time in nature. Bring your own equipment and enjoy our outdoor basketball court, or try your hand at disc golf, with a nine-hole course that winds its way through the upper portion of camp. Several open fields lend themselves to a variety of games, including kickball. Bring your sleds and snow sculpting plans when the forecast calls for snow.
Book your retreat today and discover why so many people call Silver Lake home.
