GROUP RETREATS
Penuel Ridge is a special place where a small group may withdraw for rest, renewal, and recharging, either for the day or overnight. Penuel Ridge can accommodate up to 16 people overnight, more if you choose a camping option.
​
Small groups may reserve our facilities for their own self-guided retreats. You can stay overnight, do your own cooking or have meals catered by a vendor of your choosing. A church staff, a group of officers, or a team of co-workers will find this a good spot for coming together to work or play.
​
Group rates are $98 per person per night. Day rates of $70 per person are also available.
​
Deposit (50%) is due when reservations are made; Balance is due 20 days prior to retreat date.
