RABC Ladies Retreat
September 20-22
*Registration will open this summer for the 2024 retreat.
Come enjoy socializing in our lodge, exploring nearby trails, or taking our watercrafts out on the lake! Join women from nearby communities for a weekend of fellowship and fun. Registration will open during the summer.
Meet the Speaker!
Sarena Wiebe will be returning as our Ladies Retreat Speaker! Sarena first spoke at Ladies Retreat in 2018, with the theme "Into the Wilderness." We looked at God's purpose for the wilderness in our lives and how He can turn wilderness into wonder.
This year our theme will be coming from Romans 12. Stay tuned for more information!
Get involved!
Want to join the retreat for free or discounted cost?
We are looking for a crew of support staff to wash dishes and do light janitorial work, as well as cooks and kitchen helpers for this event. Contact us at roughacres@roughacres.org if you are able to help us with making this retreat possible! Do you have ideas to make this retreat special? We would love to have you join in planning activities.

Event Details
This event is for women ages 16+ and the cost per person will be announced when registration opens. The cost includes accommodation, meals, and sessions for the weekend. You will be able to register online or contact us at roughacres@roughacres.org if you require help with registering.
Accommodations: Room availability is on a first come, first served basis as registrations are received. We have cabins, shared lodge rooms and dorms, and parking spaces for those who may wish to bring an RV/Trailers (no hookups are available). The cabins have woodstoves and lighting but not all have outlets. There is no public wifi at RABC but there is excellent cell service.
Please plan to share a room or cabin with others. You will be able to request room/cabin mate requests, so grab a few friends and sign up! Rooms in the lodge fill up quickly so those willing to share rooms will have a better chance of finding a bed in the lodge.
Note* Rough Acres is a peanut-free facility, but we are unable to accommodate other special dietary restrictions. Please contact us to receive a copy of the menu so you can make arrangements if needed.
Our worship team and retreat speaker will lead our sessions and small group discussion will provide time to reflect and expand on learning together. Our support staff will take care of cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning bathrooms while you explore the beautiful property or use your downtime to work on hobby crafts! (Bring your crocheting, painting, puzzles, books, etc.)
This is the 2023 schedule to give you an idea of how this weekend retreat typically looks. Stay tuned for the 2024 schedule.
