Think of the Ballfield as a blank canvas. Use your imagination as you plan group games and activities that need a wide open space. A sand volleyball court and tennis courts are close by. All of these spaces are great for free time activities, or for structured group times.
If you would like to use any of these facilities please let us know so we can coordinate with other group’s needs.
The Outdoor Chapel is a unique place to meet outside in God’s creation. It has benches and a small stage (there is no power available, so plan to be unplugged.) When planning your schedule be sure and consider when it gets dark! Several miles of trails can be used to complement your program as well.
If you would like to use the Outdoor Chapel please let us know so we can coordinate with other group’s needs.
The Dining Hall seats up to 500 people, and is equipped with a PA system and CD player. All meals in the Dining Hall are all-you-can eat, and don’t worry about the cleanup, we will take care of it!
Normal meal times are 8:00 for breakfast, 12:00 for lunch, and 5:30 for dinner. Please let us know if you would like to adjust these meal times.
Feel free to venture across the bridge and over Flint Creek to the Island of Patmos and the unique challenges that are found over there on both our High and Low Ropes Courses. Patmos is also the name of the island that the apostle John exiled to. It was there that he experienced many trials and tribulations, but it was also where he heard the direct word of God. It is our hope that all who enter Patmos will have a similar experience; you will be extremely challenged, but you will also hear from God and learn and grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Schedule some time for your group to come over and be challenged or just come on over and enjoy the atmosphere as other groups enjoy the course.
If you need to pray, read, study or sit quietly the Kristen Kindred Memorial Prayer Chapel is a great place. The Prayer Chapel is located right on the edge of camp, it has a peaceful view of Flint Creek, and you can sit outside or inside.
The Prayer Chapel is open 24 hours a day. We ask that you and your participants respect the Prayer Chapel as a quiet space for anyone to use for prayer and study.
Imagine a game inbetween ping pong and tennis and you have Pickleball! This easy to pick up sport uses large paddles and a wiffle ball, so just about anyone can play! Plus, the 4 courts mean a lot of people can play at the same time.
Canoes and Kayaks are a great activity for any group!
You can set the times when you want your groups to use the boats. It has to be light outside and everybody must wear a lifejacket. We recommend having an adult available to monitor any boating activities.
Campfires are a great way to have a unique experience for your group. They can be used for breakout sessions after chapel, or as a way to hang out in a unique environment. We can provide everything you need for s’mores ($.50 per person). If you want to bring your own s’mores you can. We’ll still provide roasting sticks. Let us know when you will need campfires in advance of your retreat so we can have them ready.
