Go Outside & Play: Fall Adult Retreat

September 22-24, 2025

$125

Lutherhaven Ministries is thrilled to welcome Dave Ellingson as our Guest Speaker for Go Outside & Play! This one-night retreat (option to add a second night) is designed to provide time and space for adults to enjoy all camp has to offer – campfires, s’mores, time in the word, and fellowship! Dave will encourage us to “Go Outside & Play!” During the retreat you will be challenged to look at what the words “Go Outside and Play” means with the life of Jesus in mind.

This retreat explores the meaning of and puts into practice the following:

GO…deepen your experience of the Great Commission of Jesus and follow him into the world.

Outside…together go outdoors and experience God’s good creation at Lutherhaven, on the water, and in the trees.

Play…reconnect with your inner child and stretch your heart and mind through playful activities.

Join Dave on his adventures, hear the stories of new friends, and imagine new adventures as you, “Go Outside & Play!” and what better place than camp to “Go Outside & Play”? 

Retreat Details

Check-in at the North Garden Lodge begins Monday at 2 pm and we will wrap up around 4 pm Tuesday. There is the option to stay Tuesday night and extend your time to midday on Wednesday for an additional cost.
