Don Lee Center provides retreat facilities and experiences for all ages, all year long. Check out what we like to think is the “Don Lee Difference”:
• All-Inclusive Pricing: You don’t have to nickel and dime yourself to choose your activities! All rates for overnight groups include use of meeting areas, selected activities, and general support for your group event. The activities, facilitated by Don Lee Staff can include: archery, canoeing, sailing, swimming, hayrides, challenge course, campfires, and fishing.
• Home-Cooked Meals: This isn’t the food you had when you went to summer camp! Meals are an event at Don Lee. They are served family-style, and our trained Chefs prepare every meal with great care. You won’t go hungry.
• The Retreat Ministries Coordinator: Our staff includes a full-time Retreat Ministries Coordinator, who will be with you from your first contact through the event itself. The RMC will be your guide at all stages of your planning process, including registration, scheduling and throughout the weekend to be sure the event is running smoothly.
