Daily Schedule

Things to know when coming to the retreat house:


  • Guests should bring clothing and personal articles that they would normally bring on vacation. Additionally, they should bring appropriate clothing for hiking. If it is the Spring, fall or winter season, make sure to bring a warm jacket, gloves and hat.
  • Because the retreat house really is a guest house, guests can decide to leave at any time-they are not trapped in our program.
  • Guests may bring any medication that has been prescribed by a physician. They, of course, are responsible for taking the medication according to the physician's instructions.
  • Outside of scheduled activities, guests are free to smoke in designated areas.
  • A pay phone is available for personal calls should the guest not have a personal cell phone.
