Second's All-Church Retreat is a weekend retreat for the whole church family. Whether you are a night owl or an early bird, young or just young at heart, you are invited.
This weekend offers the gift of time away from the chaos of daily life and creates space for connection with ourselves, others, and God. Our hope is that everyone will to leave this retreat feeling seen, known, and loved in a way that helps to support the good work that takes place at Second throughout the year.

The All-Church Retreat is being held at Heartland Camp. Participants who stay overnight have the opportunity to lodge in one of the following housing options:
Family: Trask Lodge - This option offers bunk beds and dorm-style bathrooms and secures the whole room for families with children. Three available rooms with 4-6 beds in each room.
Adult: Oak Place - This option is for adults not bringing children who are willing to share a room with another adult. These rooms have bunk beds and dorm-style bathrooms. Folks who sign up for these rooms will be placed in rooms with those of the same gender, and in similar age ranges.

Great question! A packing list will be available in August. However, think casual, comfy summer clothes as well as a bathing suit for the pool!

We will have nursery care provided in blocks throughout the weekend. Our hope is to provide parents with opportunities to both connect with their kid(s) and with other adults.

Thank you for asking! We are thinking about accessibility in the planning of this weekend to ensure the comfortable participation of as many people as possible. Most of our activities will take place in buildings and spaces that are accessible and mobility friendly. We are planning to incorporate AC access and indoor free time activities for those sensitive to the heat. The one area of camp that is the greatest mobility challenge is the bonfire. With that said, we plan to provide car shuttles as close as we can to the fire, and will provide an alternate fire pit location nearby for those who want it.
