The Dormitory
Building is a later addition to the lodge for sleeping
accommodations. 49 rooms have single beds. Three rooms have bunk beds. There are two suites,
one with one room and bath, and another with three rooms and bath. This
gives a total of 55 beds. General washrooms are in the center of each
floor of this building.
- Sacred
Heart Chapel can accommodate approximately 90 people for prayer
and liturgy. It can also be used for media and film needs by closing
off the sanctuary.

Shop offers assorted Christian materials for purchase.
These are things to remember the retreat experience, to use
in faith development, or to give as gifts.
- Breezeway
connects the dormitory to the lodge. It is the main entrance
and is often used as a gathering spot by many groups.
Spacious grounds surround the buildings. The property has a prairie, wooded
paths, and a small lake. Patrons can use the in-ground heated
pool, tennis courts, horse shoe pits, volleyball court, softball
and football fields. Benches are around the property and a deck
overlooks the lake. A fire pit is on the lakeshore for outside
bonfires.
