Camp Barakel Fall Married Couples Retreat

Fall Married Couples Retreat

Sept 17-19, 2010
[Registration Form] [OnLine Reg]

Come and enjoy northern Michigan’s beautiful early-autumn season! Choose from a whole lineup of activities on our 350 acres — or just relax in a chair around the campfire.

Take a ride on our 950’ zipline across scenic Snow Valley.

Go Kayaking, Canoeing, Paddle-Boating, or Fishing (no license required) — or take a Pontoon-Boat Tour on beautiful Shear Lake.

Play Volleyball, or go Mountain Biking.

Cuddle on a Hayride through Huron National Forest.

Enjoy conversation as you canoe the historic AuSable River (additional fee).

Visit the Riflery or Archery range, or go to the Gameroom for a round of ping-pong.

Try our Horizontal Bouldering Wall.

The retreat will begin Friday evening and continue unhurried through the Sunday noon meal. We’ve planned four Chapel sessions where we’ll worship and proclaim Jesus Christ — and where we’ll be encouraged to honor Christ in our marriage.

Our speaker for 2010 is Pastor Don Denyes from South Church in Lansing, MI. He and his wife, Nancy, have five daughters (two are now married) and two grandchildren. Don has been the pastor at South since 1995. His warm pastoral heart comes through in his teaching as he seeks to bring the Scriptures to bear on the practical, nitty-gritty of life’s demands. In addition to his own demanding work schedule, Pastor Denyes enjoys golf and is an enthusiastic baseball fan (and the chaplain for the Lansing Lugnuts).

The fee is $175 per couple.

Housing will be in our lodges. We also have a 50-site RV Park with electric hookups and a bathhouse (fees same as above). No pets, please.
