    Why Compass Retreat Center?

    We believe in celebrating the importance of family. Our hope and belief is that families can overcome stress and the obstacles that life brings if they are equipped and make relationships a priority. Our priority is holistic healing. We will help re-pack your family "toolbox" so that you have useful and usable resources that provide life-changing impact.

    Who is invited?
    Compass Retreat Center invites members of the National Guard and Reserves, their spouses, and children to camp for a weekend. While with us the whole family will work on healing of mind, body and spirit through family activities, workshops, small group encounters, team-building and trust-building exercises.

    Why a camp setting?
    By stepping outside the home environment we are able to help participants discover new ways to communicate. Through activities, small group encounters and workshops, participants will also learn techniques that will help build stronger relationships.

    How do I apply?
    It is our privilege to have you join us. We will offer two family retreats in Summer 2010:

    We are also offering a week for couples who do not have children in Fall 2010:
