Ladie's Retreat 2026!!
Date: September 18th to 20th.
Cost: $200 per person.
Special Speaker: Christine Schonbachler (Eagle)
Theme/Topic: The Roots of Our Faith
How can the Jewishness of Jesus transform your faith as a follower of Christ?
Jesus was an Israelite and the more we know about the cultural, historical and spiritual background of the Bible, the better we can understand Jesus' life and teachings. God's bigger picture with Israel and the customs, beliefs and traditions of Jewish life provide important context to Scripture.
God has put it on my heart to study and share about the roots of our faith.
Join us with curiosity at this year's Women's Retreat to consider this sometimes overlooked aspect of Christianity!
Get involved!

Event Details

This event is for women ages 16+ and the cost per person is $200. 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). There are more detailed descriptions of these options that can be found during registration. The cabins have woodstoves and lighting but not all have outlets.
​
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.
​​​
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.) Come use our watercraft, hike our nearby trails, or enjoy socializing in the lodge!
This is the 2023 schedule to give you an idea of how this weekend retreat typically looks. Stay tuned for the 2026 schedule.​
