Welcome to Camp New Journey's Retreat Center
We are committed to providing space for groups to come together and retreat, surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation. We’ll take care of the details so you can focus on connecting with others, personal development, building teams and having lots of fun!
A typical weekend retreat consists of a two night stay in our cabins or in tenting on the campus. Also included in your retreat package is scheduled access to the main lodge for meetings and gatherings throughout your stay.
Recreational facilities including game room, and hiking trails are all included in your retreat package. Opportunities for team-building, archery, horseback riding, kayaking, and fishing, can be added to your event. We are always happy to customize your retreat weekend to meet the needs of your group.
