Escape the business of life, and discover the tranquility of a
romantic getaway that offers exceptional amenities in an unparalleled natural
wooded setting with your spouse. Our luxurious resort-style retreat site
features a rejuvenating spa, health club, and a 70 foot lap indoor pool. Strengthen your
marriage through undistracted time together, biblical exploration, worship,
great food, a special romantic off-site "date night", a whole host of amazing
activities you can do together, and a life-changing recommitment ceremony. Your marriage will never be the
same! 



This escape is open to everyone in the community, regardless
of religious affiliation or lack thereof. Couples of all ages will leave
the weekend relaxed, reconnected, refreshed, encouraged
and equipped to
build and grow your relationship.

    Escape Costs 


    We want to keep fixed costs at a minimum, so that couples who need
    this escape the most will have flexibility in making this event fit into their
    budget. This is event is designed for a small group of couples; so it is
    important that all couples commit to attending  all gatherings and
    meals
    . If you are unable to participant in the whole two day event,
    please plan to join us for our next escape.
