"But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
- Mark 10:43-45
On-Site Mission Retreats
Awanita Mission Retreats are for groups who are looking for a missional, service-oriented retreat. Mission retreats are a wonderful tool your group can use to practice what Jesus said in Mark 10. We currently have two styles of Mission Retreats you can choose from:
- On-Site
- Off-Site
On-Site Mission Retreats is a 2-night retreat usually on Friday-Sunday's. You will arrive Friday evening after dinner, work all day Saturday, and leave Sunday morning. Your group will receive free lodging, meals, and access to a meeting room during your stay as well as access to our recreation when time allows.
For this style retreat, your group will be serving alongside the Awanita staff and volunteers on various projects around camp. Projects could include;
-
Grounds and landscaping
-
Construction
-
Food services
-
Housekeeping
