WHO CAN BOOK & WHEN?

Any Christian organization such as a church or college campus ministry which has evangelism and/or Christian discipleship as its main objective for the retreat can book the LFR facilities. The retreat group’s doctrinal position must be one that is held by mainstream evangelicals. (See the LFR Doctrinal Statement on our web site.)   

Any weekend or weekday between early August and early May, that does not conflict with programs already scheduled by Lake Forest Ranch.

Why book with us?

Since 1950 Lake Forest Ranch has been providing Christian Camps and retreats in a pristine environment that is among the most beautiful settings in the southeast.  The LFR mission statement is “Building Relationships for Eternal Impact.”  In keeping with this mission, during non-summer months, LFR facilities are exclusively available for use by evangelical ministries for spiritual retreats and meetings that intended to build up the Body of Christ.

“The retreat was incredible.  I can’t even begin to express how thankful we are for your gracious attitude towards us. It is so comforting to be able to have a retreat like this at a place that’s mission is the same as ours: to reach people for Christ.  We look forward to retreats at LFR in the future.”
— Colton Ragan, MSU Crusade
“LFR and their staff provide an outstanding opportunity for us to minister to student athletes through fellowship, Bible study, and much needed rest.  What a great place to see lives changed.”
— Bill Buckley, Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

    • Climbing Wall (50ft. tall) – A vertical wall that simulates true rock climbing. The holds (“rocks”) are strategically placed on the wall to create ease or difficulties depending on the skill of the climber.

    • Leap of Faith - The participant climbs up a pole on climbing staples to gain access to a platform, from which they exit/jump in favor of a hanging trapeze bar or target ball a number of improbable feet away.
