I just went to the camp last week, and it was amazing. As a fifteen year old, when I go to a camp I like to have fun; Black Rock Retreat did just that. Not only have I improved my relationship with God, but I have also learned more about myself in the process. I definitely recommend this camp. P.S The Food Is Really Good.

Each year when we pick up our daughter from Black Rock, the first thing she says is "365 days until I can come back. I can not wait." This camp is faith forming, soul supporting, and life-changing for kids, youth, teens and young adults. God is at work at Black Rock Retreat. And it is really good.

Renee Duvall M.

Just got back from a wonderful 3 day outdoor education retreat. The staff did an excellent job with all the activities for the kids... black light dodgeball, alpha wolf at night, high ropes and many more. The devotion time was meaningful and I hope my group got the message that was shared so well. Thanks to John, Kevin, Mariah and Nate for being our leaders! They were all excellent!

Fredrico L.

Anyone looking for a getaway from the busyness of everyday life should strongly consider Black Rock Retreat... It’s quiet and peaceful and you get to be one with nature. Their facilities are super clean and the grounds is well kept. Definitely a 5 star!

This is the 3rd year our grand daughter has attended Black Rock. She is now almost 10 yrs old and talks about Black Rock all year long until the next summer. "don't forget to sign me up for Black Rock" is her weekly reminder until registration is done. We never worry about her well being. We know she will be nurtured and cared for. She comes home with so many stories of fellowship and friendship. We look forward to hearing all the adventures and bible stories she experienced this summer. Black Rock Rocks!

Lacey S.

00:01 27 Jun 18

Our daughter Leigha counts the days from the time we pick her up from camp until she can go back again the next summer!! She recalls and reflects on the amazing memories she makes with her friends and counselors as well as the Christ centered lessons she applies to her everyday life. We are so blessed to have found this amazing camp and feel 100% confident in the impact Black Rock has had on our daughter! Thank you �

My kids went to their first Black Rock’s Homeschool Day yesterday. They learned so much, and ended the day tired, happy, and yes-dirty! Outdoor education that centers on nature as a gift from God-perfect!

Tiffany W.

Black Rock is a place where you create a better relationship with God, and create new friends. You start to feel like your part of a family after a little while of being at camp. Everyone is really nice, welcoming, and helpful. I loved my experience at Black Rock.

Very nice and clean place, quiet. Our room has some kind of smell, musty not very pleasant though. We had 5 meals during our stay. Most items were very sweet, pulled pirk was extremely sweet. The roast beef was very well done and tough. This last lunch was the only meal I liked. I loved their home made ice cream. The lake looked very green and I wouldn't use it. We did not use most of the facilities, like the pool.

A place to relax, renew, refresh, rejuvenate and reconnect with God!! Not just for groups but family as well! Great food. Great atmosphere. No tv's anywhere. Destress from that everyday roller coaster called life. Gift shop has some beautiful keepsakes. And if you have downtime head over to some of the shopping outlets. We found a thrift store about 10m from here that has some great items at great prices!

Kimberly M.

22:17 24 Jun 17

My 13 year old daughter just returned from her first time at Black Rock, and she LOVED it! She said on a scale of 1-10, Black Rock Retreat is a 20! Thanks for offering such a safe and wonderful place to send my daughter for a week of fellowship and fun!

Barbara Watts B.

21:44 23 Jan 17

We are here for a few days get away. At this time of the year, they have discount lodging, so our friends thought it would be a good time for our yearly refreshment time. The facility and grounds are beautifully nestled in the woods. We have a very comfortable and beautiful cottage that can sleep 12 people with kitchen living room with fireplace. This is just great for us.

Denise W.

20:40 15 Jan 17

This is the 5th year I attended a Crafting Retreat. As always, the staff are friendly and quick to help, the good is delicious and plentiful, the large group space is top-notch and the room as very nice and very clean. 5 star retreat in rustic setting. My favorite part, the wood burning fireplaces. Gift shop has nice items for sale too.

Black Rock is beautiful. The staff are friendly, kind, and helpful. The facilities are well maintained. The surroundings are beautiful. As both a paying customer and a recipient of Black Rock's complimentary pastor's retreat, I can say without reservation that this place has been a huge blessing to me, my ministry, and my family.

Ben D.

17:45 07 Dec 16

I went to BRR summer camp through my childhood and at 33, I still have friends from Black Rock that I keep in touch with. More importantly, this place and its counselors are key reasons why I'm a Christian today. And hey, I had a lot of fun too!Now that I'm a dad, I'm eager to send my kids to Black Rock. If you're considering sending your child here or participating in some other BRR programming, why not?! It may just become an annual tradition with a life time of impact like it was for me.

Miranda E.

My son looks forward to his week at camp during the summer and the winter retreat every year! A wonderful place to grow in your faith while connecting with people and nature!

Elida S.

11:13 05 Jun 16

That retreat facility is just the best! Great surroundings that invite thoughtful meditation, comfortable and very clean rooms and the food is excellent. That's me with Dr Janet Smith who is the wisest funniest holy teacher I have ever met! I mean the examples and sense of humor she has for teaching difficult subjects like John Paul II's "Love and Responsibility" is extraordinary!

Joey K.

02:57 14 Sep 15

I went here as a kid and I loved every minute of it. I can't wait for my kids to attend this every year when they are old enough! If it is anything like it was when I went years ago, they will love it. They have so many fun activities, crafts to do, swimming, huge slide into the lake, a float you can swim out to and hang out on, singing, great food(and lots of it), they had a field day, and they even had a day where counslers and staff were on top of the buildings throwing water balloons at campers as they tried to make it through the campgrounds. Just a fun time! Overall they teach life lessons that leave your kids making better choices for life!

I started attending in 1996 as a camper and have been here every year since. I worked on Summer Staff for four years and then joined the full time staff. I committed my life to full time ministry as a camper in 2001 and met my husband here in 2007. God does amazing things at Black Rock and I am honored to be a part of it.

Abbie S.

This place became my home summer after summer. Even when I wasn't here I still felt the love of the people who helped me to find faith in The Lord. The staff is always friendly. They have a great balance of returning staff members and new employees. So many great memories were made here.

Marvin J.

I loved Black Rock since I went as a child!! Now my son gets to enjoy it every year, as will my daughter when she is old enough :D

Michelle S.

11:10 01 Aug 14

My girls did the outdoor education swim lessons this year and LOVED it! All the instructors were very professional and took great care of the kids. Their no pressure approach helped my daughter overcome her fear of the deep end and we were grateful for watching her jump into the pool with confidence. We will be back for other programs as they grow!

Jason S.

10:44 29 Jul 14

Great for the kids

A place to relax, renew, refresh, rejuvenate and reconnect with God!! Not just for groups but family as well! Great food. Great atmosphere. No tv's anywhere. Destress from that everyday roller coaster called life. Gift shop has some beautiful keepsakes. And if you have downtime head over to some of the shopping outlets. We found a thrift store about 10m from here that has some great items at great prices!

My 13 year old daughter just returned from her first time at Black Rock, and she LOVED it! She said on a scale of 1-10, Black Rock Retreat is a 20! Thanks for offering such a safe and wonderful place to send my daughter for a week of fellowship and fun!

We are here for a few days get away. At this time of the year, they have discount lodging, so our friends thought it would be a good time for our yearly refreshment time. The facility and grounds are beautifully nestled in the woods. We have a very comfortable and beautiful cottage that can sleep 12 people with kitchen living room with fireplace. This is just great for us.

This is the 5th year I attended a Crafting Retreat. As always, the staff are friendly and quick to help, the good is delicious and plentiful, the large group space is top-notch and the room as very nice and very clean. 5 star retreat in rustic setting. My favorite part, the wood burning fireplaces. Gift shop has nice items for sale too.

Black Rock is beautiful. The staff are friendly, kind, and helpful. The facilities are well maintained. The surroundings are beautiful. As both a paying customer and a recipient of Black Rock's complimentary pastor's retreat, I can say without reservation that this place has been a huge blessing to me, my ministry, and my family.

That retreat facility is just the best! Great surroundings that invite thoughtful meditation, comfortable and very clean rooms and the food is excellent. That's me with Dr Janet Smith who is the wisest funniest holy teacher I have ever met! I mean the examples and sense of humor she has for teaching difficult subjects like John Paul II's "Love and Responsibility" is extraordinary!

I went here as a kid and I loved every minute of it. I can't wait for my kids to attend this every year when they are old enough! If it is anything like it was when I went years ago, they will love it. They have so many fun activities, crafts to do, swimming, huge slide into the lake, a float you can swim out to and hang out on, singing, great food(and lots of it), they had a field day, and they even had a day where counslers and staff were on top of the buildings throwing water balloons at campers as they tried to make it through the campgrounds. Just a fun time! Overall they teach life lessons that leave your kids making better choices for life!

I started attending in 1996 as a camper and have been here every year since. I worked on Summer Staff for four years and then joined the full time staff. I committed my life to full time ministry as a camper in 2001 and met my husband here in 2007. God does amazing things at Black Rock and I am honored to be a part of it.

My girls did the outdoor education swim lessons this year and LOVED it! All the instructors were very professional and took great care of the kids. Their no pressure approach helped my daughter overcome her fear of the deep end and we were grateful for watching her jump into the pool with confidence. We will be back for other programs as they grow!
