As a pastor, do you desire a couple of quiet days in nature to just be?

No work. No ministry responsibilities. No dishes. Does time to enjoy God’s creation in the Northwoods and quiet spaces to have time alone call out to you? Fort Wilderness, along with Jonathan Misirian and Raymond Monk, invite you to a Pastors Retreat. It’s a chance to rest, enjoy God’s great creation and an opportunity to connect with other pastors.

Time for You

Your time at this retreat can be restful… or active! Fort has many activities and much nature to explore. The schedule is relaxed allowing you to choose how to spend your time. Monday and Tuesday afternoon an optional group activity will be offered. Evenings bring a spiritually enriching time lead by Jonathan and Raymond.

Springtime in the Northwoods is unpredictable, no matter the weather their are beautiful options at camp! If spring has already arrived you could find yourself kayaking around Spider Lake.

Past Attendees Say…

Silence and solitude were extremely beneficial for me. Something I don’t get enough of and don’t make happen enough.

There are dozens of conferences to go to as a pastor…However, a simple, low key retreat is hard to find.

There was a sense of value and love for local churches by the staff.

The last small group was powerful, allowed me to hear and share.

Walking along the lake…allowed me to experience Sabbath.

Jonathan Misirian, Pastor at Southbrook Church and longtime Fort friend along with Rev. Raymond C. Monk, Ephesians Missionary Baptist Church invite you to retreat at Fort.

Our desire is for pastors to have a special time and place to rest and be filled.
