The Core group will be holding our annual retreat at the Chi Rho Center near Annandale, MN September 15-17.
Map to the Retreat Location
The map above can help you understand where the retreat will be held and provide directions. Alternatively, you can follow Kathy’s driving directions.
Facts
There are two cabins. Each one has 6 bedrooms with two sets of bunk beds in each bedroom, bathrooms, showers and a lounge area with a small refrigerator. Some of us will need to share bedrooms.
The lodge is where we can enjoy the view of Lake Sylvia. On the main floor there is a large dining room and kitchen, a gathering room with a fireplace, comfortable chairs and a piano. Downstairs are the bathrooms and a room with a ping pong table and a pool table.
Outside possibilities: Volleyball, badminton and basketball nets, frisbee golf, canoes, fishing docks, hiking trails, beaches, and a fire pit. You’ll need to bring your own balls, rackets, and frisbees. Kathy isn’t sure about life jackets, so she’ll check that out.
