The Vision of Circle Lake Retreat Center
is to be a place where family members
can grow closer to God through
praying,
sharing faith,
learning,
and playing together.

The Family Retreats we offer enliven this vision by bringing families out of the hectic pace of their lives for a short time and by providing the space and resources to build stronger families.  Circle Lake is a place where children can play safely without fear, where adults and teens can grow in God’s love while having a lot of fun. 

Circle Lake Family Retreats are not about so-called experts teaching people how to have "perfect" families. We involve families in praying and playing, discussing and working, relaxing and having fun together.  Find out more about our family retreat offerings below.

A Lenten Retreat for Families
Fri, Feb 23rd – Sun. Feb. 25, 2007

Get spiritually fit this Lent with a weekend workout designed for your whole family.  Build strong faith muscles for the start of the Lenten season while enjoying the fun and beauty of Circle Lake.  You may have already broken those New Year’s Resolutions for better diet and exercise, but use this opportunity to get your family’s faith life in shape for the coming of the Risen Lord at Easter.  Take this time to pass along to your children or grandchildren the traditional Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  Cost:  $75 per adult/teen; $50 per child 4-12; children 3 & under free.
