Ripple Retreat

 
 
 

During the Retreat you will be able to enjoy the 60+ acres of The Peaks Retreat Center. They offer a Low Ropes Course, a Climbing Wall and 400-ft Gravity Zipline. As well as a fishing pond, disc golf course and multiple other sports related activities. Our prayer is that this retreat creates a ripple effect through generations of intentional connection.
