​

*Sessions:

How Does Your Garden Grow - Homeschooling is an act of love that doesn't just blossom into a beautiful garden because you planted a few seeds and poured water on it. And even if you're an expert gardener like Mary Mary Quite Contrary, there's still seasons and struggles, pests and problems. In this session, you'll be encouraged to till your garden, deadhead the plants, root out the weeds and fertilize the flowers of your homeschool "garden".

​

Bloom Where You're Planted - Some of us are stuck in rocky soil while some are blowing in the breezy ditches, but all of us can bloom. There are seasons of homeschooling where we can barely survive, but with a little nurturing, you can thrive.

​

A couple notes about meals, bedding and more:

You may specify any food allergies or intolerances you have upon registration and we will do our best to accommodate them. We offer enough choices at each meal/snack so everyone is considered.

 

The bedrooms are rustic and charming with new, comfy mattresses. You will need to bring bedding/sleeping bag and a pillow. There are a handful of private rooms with double beds as well as three dorm rooms. You may reserve a private room at registration or choose your own bed in the dorm upon arrival.​ Both the dorm rooms and the private rooms have windows that open and fans. A wonderful breeze blows through the lodge at night. 

​

If you live in the area and will be sleeping at home, you may choose the Day Only rate of $65/75. 

​

The dining hall, where a lot of our activities take place, is air conditioned. The tabernacle, a wonderful peaceful place to sit, is more than 100 years old and when the windows/doors are opened, it too has a wonderful breeze through it.

​

The retreat is an opportunity for all moms to get away from it all and leave mom responsibilities at home. As such, we are unable to welcome children to the retreat. The exception is nursing infants who are not yet walking. There is no childcare of any kind available the retreat.

Location:

This year the retreat will be held at Prairie Bible Camp in Lehr, ND. Surrounded by nature, the camp is about 45 miles south of Medina, ND and the home of the 100-year-old Lehr Tabernacle. The grounds are shaded and tranquil, the perfect spot to get away from it all.
