Retreats at Camp Friedenswald are all about reconnecting – with yourself, friends new and old, nature, and with God – by disconnecting from the demands of day-to-day life.

Restoration Retreat 2024
November 1–3
Presenter: Sarah Augustine
Connect with the land and life through a weekend retreat centered on restoring healthy relationships with all of creation. Take time to slow down, walk the paths, paddle the water, and simply be in community with all that is around you.

She is the Executive Director of the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery, a national coalition with global reach.
