Group Retreats
These retreats are programmed by church or organization groups and use COTW (CAMP-of-the-WOODS) accommodations and facilities during the conference season (fall through spring).
-
Programmed Retreats
These retreats are programmed by COTW fall through spring and range from family-style to adult-only. Examples include Presidents’ Day Weekend (family-style) and the Men’s & Women’s Retreats (adult-only).
Embrace COTW’s 125th Anniversary
As we near this milestone, we hope you get as excited as we do when we think about God’s goodness through history and the spiritual impact families have experienced here. As we continue to join God in His work through this ministry, we aim to accomplish this through the new TeePee/Trading Post building project! We hope to build a foundation for the future, building a legacy that enriches future generations.

“The Chapel speaker has reminded us that we are called to put Jesus first in our lives and even after vacation is over and we are back to our normal routines, we can’t just live on autopilot. We must be intentional in our day-to-day lives or Him.”

“I asked my mother what she wanted to do for her birthday, and she said she wanted to take the whole family to COTW. This year we celebrated my mother’s 90th birthday at camp. Our time at COTW is such an amazing time to reconnect with God and family and we all agree that it is one of the greatest traditions that we have as a family.”
— Schlechty Family
