take REFUGE
Countryside Camp and Conference Centre invites you to simply come and take REFUGE.
|
God has laid on our hearts the weight and responsibility his servants in full time ministry often carry. Because of this, we would like to offer you the opportunity to make use of the facility and beautiful place God has given us—to take a few days to simply spend with Him and be restored. This is a retreat designed specifically for you and God. We have no agenda of things for you to do, no sessions, no scheduled events, no time lines. We simply offer you a place to find refuge in our God, and the two of you can go from there. |
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honour depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. -Psalm 62:5-8- |
Dates: November 9-11th and January 11-13th
Because we know scheduling time away from ministry can be difficult, we would like to offer you as much flexibility in creating a retreat that fits for your life. Simply check off the evenings you will be needing accommodations on the registration form. Stay for one night or two. When you come and go is up to you and the Lord. We have nine suites available and will be booking them on a first come first serve basis.
 |
Location: We are located on a beautiful 130 acres of forest, rolling hills, and wetlands, between Paris and Cambridge, ON. See the directions page on our website for specific location and directions |
Accommodations: While here, you will be given one of our Shalom House Guest Suites to stay in. Each suite has two single beds (despite being able to accommodate two people in a suite, you will be the only one using it—unless of course you wish to sign up with your spouse) and a three piece washroom. Please bring your own linens and toiletries. |

Meals:
We want meals to be as flexible as possible. We will look after all of the meal preparations and clean-up. You just need to check off below which meals you'll be eating. If you wish to opt out of meals, for fasting purposes, you are more than welcome to.
Cost:
We want the cost of this retreat to be as minimal as possible for you. We are charging $20 per night just to cover our expenses. We rent our facilities out to groups throughout the year, and depend upon these rentals for funding a large part of our ministry. We would like to use some of the time when our facilities aren't being rented to bless you for your service to the Lord.
