retreats

Clearwater is not just for summer camp! Take advantage of all the opportunities Clearwater has to offer year-round by joining a retreat or planning your own. We offer the hermitage and Woodchuck cabins for year-round solo and couples retreats as well as our larger lodges, Leaning Tree and Eagle, and the recently renovated Carriage House where you can host larger groups.

women's chrysalis

Clearwater Chrysalis is a balanced, faith-building program at Clearwater Forest. We welcome adult women from all Christian traditions. Our vision is to nourish and support the body, mind and spirit in community with other women.

The first Clearwater Chrysalis in 1984 featured speakers, exercise classes, Bible study, and workshops. Chrysalis has been held every summer since and an annual winter gathering since 1990.

Fall Youth Retreat

Early in the morning he (Jesus) came walking toward them on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.” ~ Matthew 14:25-27

October 27-29th, 2023

Join us in the forest to be reminded by Jesus, "Do not be afraid!"

spiritual renewal

Image

An endowment was created in early 2012 to support Spiritual Renewal at Clearwater Forest. Now more than ever, there is the need for places to come away to and draw strength and rejuvenation from time in God’s creation, with the Creator.

We invite you to consider a personal retreat- for 2 hours or 2 days or 2 weeks- at Clearwater Forest. Stay in the Hermitage, paddle beautiful Clearwater Lake, read, hike, pray, rest, walk the Labyrinth… we can provide other suggestions too.

Please contact the camp office today to put your spiritual renewal time on our calendar and yours. It is important!

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:31
