Our campus includes four Villa buildings available for overnight accommodations of retreatants, totaling 22 private bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath. Most rooms provide for double occupancy, allowing for up to 40 overnight retreatants in a shared-room. Each villa has a communal gathering space and kitchenette. The kitchenette is furnished with a toaster oven, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator. The minimum number of participants is twelve (12).

A multi-day retreat generally has a duration of 2-3 days. Retreatants check-in the afternoon of the first day, followed by dinner in the Dining Room. The following days include a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Full use of the conference center and the chapel are made available to the group.
