Friday May 17th (check in at 4pm in Eagle River WI) - Sunday May 19th (Retreat ends at noon)
Connect with God
We will be having retreat sessions at this beautiful, historic, lake home. There will be time planned to help you connect with God through sessions, discussion, and journaling time. God is inviting us to examine the messages we are living under, who He has created us to be, and the lies that are holding us back.
Connect with Others
Time is planned between sessions for you to enjoy many of the manor's activities. You can relax beside Cranberry Lake, go kayaking on the lake, enjoy the lakeside tennis court, shuffleboard court, or basketball courts. You can enjoy the hot tub, or the wonderful outdoor firepit. There are also many wooded areas to explore.
Cost for the Weekend
All food and listed activities are included in the cost for the weekend. A notebook for the sessions will also be included.

What to Bring
Typical weather in Eagle River this time of year is 50-65 degrees Fahrenheit, although the temperature at night can drop down close to 40. We recommend that you bring some warm sweatshirt or jacket to enjoy the bonfire outside at night or to sit by the lake. Also don't forget your swimsuit if you want to enjoy the hot tub!
A notebook and journal will be provided for the weekend, but you may want to bring your bible for devotional time.
Getting There
Eagle River is about a 4 hour drive from Milwaukee. Check-In for the retreat starts at 4pm on Friday. We recommend leaving Milwaukee area around noon because the deer on the road up north get very bad after dark (also the retreat property is amazing and worth enjoying as much as possible!) The thought is that carpools can leave Milwaukee area around noon and arrive at the manor before dinner on Friday evening.
As parking is limited, we are requesting that participants carpool if at all possible.
Food
We will provide breakfast both mornings, along with lunch and dinner on Saturday.
We are trying something new this year for Friday night! I know so many of us enjoy bringing something to share with the group. Past years, so many women have brought such amazing food to share from snacks to appetizers to desserts so I thought, let's make it official! We are making a night of it with appetizers for Friday Night Dinner! If this is something you would like to participate in, please note it when you fill out the registration form below.
Please note, this is only if it would bring you joy to do so. Feel no obligation to bring food unless you would enjoy doing so. We always have plenty and so this is for those of us who find it fun to make a dish to share.
If you have dietary restriction, we will have areas where you can bring, store, and prepare your own food.
At the moment, I am planning out the menu so I might be able to accommodate simple dietary restrictions. If you have any questions, please text or call me for more information, and I can update you when I know more. Christina 815-483-7078
