spiritual renewal
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
