It is hard to fathom, but this will be the 9th year that Rock Haven will again host our annual Nerf War Retreat. What used to be our November retreat, or Thanksgiving retreat has now become a mainstay of our programming. We are looking forward to having each and everyone of you here this year. Last year, we began having separate services for age groups. This year we are doing the same except having a different speaker for each session. We are looking forward to these speakers as they share their hearts with you.

Of course, we will be giving each age group the opportunity to win a new nerf gun. Also remember that we provide the darts so that you don’t have to. Invite all your friends and family to come to the 9th annual Rock Haven Bible Camp NERF War retreat.

The camp has been rented for a private event.

Ladies,

     With the cooler days and crisper nights, the feel of fall is in the air. Let's gather together and share our laughter over warm cider and a cozy evening of renewing our minds in God's Word. I'm missing all of you beautiful ladies. Bonnie is cooking up something special. The speakers are ready and looking forward to blessing you.

     As I write to you, I already have five rooms filled with overnight stays. It blesses my heart to see you excited about coming. I love how you enjoy studying God's Word and learning about His plan for you. If you're breathing, He has a plan for your life. 

     We're thrilled that Brittany Morse will be our main speaker. She has been a busy lady, preparing for her three sessions, while also being a busy mom and wife. Her sessions are CONNECTED, CLOTHED, COURAGEOUS.

     We have a special treat for you. Cara Capps, Missionary from Argentina, will be sharing with you in a breakout session.

We're asking that you bring your copy of "THE WORD WORKS" that you received this past spring. Rachel and I will share a few things from it and then give you the opportunity to ask questions and share with us the blessings you've gained from adding this guide to your prayer life. If you were not here and need a book, we have a few more that we can give.

Kathy Carlson will be back to share a great craft with you. It will be fun, and you'll love it. Trust me It’s easy to do.

     We have additional rooms available if you'd like to stay overnight. Just message, call, or email me. Can't wait to see you again! Ladies, you are awesome!

Do you need a tune-up?

                 If I continue to operate my vehicle and fail to perform regular maintenance, performance will eventually decline. Spark plugs, air filters, oil, and oil filters all prolong a vehicle’s life. Although we are not a car, we still need to spend time in God’s Word to refresh, to renew, and to grow. In this year's boys retreat, we want to focus on doing this.
                 Each year, we try to do several activities. This year, the plan is to focus on one thing. Pinewood Derby cars! You might be familiar with these if you have been to the Boy Scouts or an AWANA program. Each person is provided with a small wooden car kit. They then transform this kit into a race car that they can race against each other.. This year we will do this. This will take place over multiple sessions. We will paint and decorate the car, assemble the vehicles, and tune them up to make them as fast as possible. After lunch on Saturday, we will then race to see who made the fastest vehicle. Along with this, we will study God’s Word and the importance of developing our walk with Him.  

We are so excited to have our Girls Retreat September 12-13, 2025. This year, we are including 3rd grade through 12th grade (ages 9-18)!  We will divide into three groups: the 3rd-5th grades in one group, the 6th-8th( grades in the second group, and the 9th-12th grades in the third group.  Our theme is “WORDS” Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” God provided us with excellent teachers and FUN activities for each different group.  It will be like having three separate retreats all in one.  We have a fantastic time planned for each girl.  The girls will be enjoying Bible lessons, games, crafts, yummy food, friendship time, and much more.  We ask for your prayers as we feed into the lives of these campers.

Ladies,

Praise the Lord, spring is here and it’s time to get together and fellowship! We have been busy preparing a great lineup of speakers and sessions with you in mind.

Our theme is Porches and Prayers. What does Porches and Prayers have in common? Well, let me tell you, Porches are a great place to sit and fellowship with our Lord. I love to sit on my porch with my Lord.
