The ministry of a retreat

The ministry of a retreat may be the best way to impact children, teens and adults in your church or organization. Powerful life change can happen when we leave the normal routine of life, focus on God’s truth without distraction and see Christian principles lived in the context of shared life. Jesus would often retreat with his disciples to find solitude and rest; or to accomplish specific ministry purposes. We would be wise to follow his example.

Availability

Streamside Camp and Conference Center can be your place to retreat. Dates for full week camps and weekend retreats are available from early August through mid-June. 

Our desire is to provide an affordable quality retreat facility and service oriented staff whose purpose is helping you achieve your ministry goals. Leading up to your event, our staff will pray through the specific request which you submit. We want your spiritual goals to be realized through your retreat.

Streamside Camp & Conference Center, as a ministry of BCM International, is a Christian ministry that highly values the teaching of biblical truth and encourages the living out of biblical principles.  All groups are expected to have responsible leadership with adequate supervision so that safety is assured and the standards and purposes of Streamside are upheld.  Streamside is an alcohol and smoke free facility.

Although Streamside will favor requests by groups with a distinctly Christian ministry focus, our facility is available, at our discretion, for any group willing to abide by standards of behavior consistent with our ministry purpose.  Groups must agree not to promote behavior or teaching that contradicts BCM’s doctrinal statement.  Each group should expect a brief introduction to the ministry of Streamside and BCM upon their arrival.

Please contact us at retreats@streamside.org or (570) 629-1902 to confirm compatibility and  availability of interested dates.
