Ideal for: Educators and their Families | Ages: All Ages | Dates: March 22-24, 2019
Relax. Recharge. Relate. Rejoice.
Experience inspiring lessons in one of the greatest classrooms on earth – God’s natural creation.
This outdoor adventure getaway is a perfect opportunity for educators and their families to take time away from the everyday stresses that are part of leading a school or classroom, and to cultivate that sense of clarity, meaning, and purpose that can only be found in God’s Word.
When was the last time you took time for yourself?
Of all the jobs, one of the hardest is teaching. And we know that among you hard-working teachers, too many of you take too little time for yourselves. So we created a perfect time and place for you to recharge and refocus. An adventure retreat designed for teachers and their families to spend time together in an inspiring and spiritually rejuvenating weekend where you can grow your relationship with Christ.
Bring 3 For Free
As a way to say “Thank You” to all of you who serve tirelessly in our nation’s education systems, we’re delighted to offer all educators a “Bring 3 For Free” deal for our Educator’s Energizer Retreat that allows you to bring yourself and two other persons from your school for free. Use it as a time to get away, plan with teammates, enjoy our activities, meet others, or escape into the mountains for adventure and solitude. This time is YOUR time, and we are here to serve however we can.
TOTALLY FLEXIBLE
Your retreat is totally flexible so that you can get the most relaxation out of your trip. Feel free to participate in as much or as little of what we have planned as you like. The important thing is that you relax, unwind and spend time with God – whether alone or in a group. We just want you to be spiritually and physically refreshed.
Excursions
You can spend all four days of your retreat nestled in the seclusion of Black Diamond and all it has to offer. Or, you can venture off for an afternoon in historic Santa Fe, just a short drive from camp.
Santa Fe is among the oldest cities in the United States, with a vast history and unique mix of art and culture. Set some time aside to visit Santa Fe and attend one of its many festivals, markets, galleries or concerts.
