Tennis

Four outdoor tennis courts are available for retreat groups during warmer weather. A limited number of rackets and equipment can be borrowed from the Jumonville office.

Wrist Rockets

Wrist Rockets are like “sling shots.” However, we put a neat twist on it and shoot dog food rather than stones so it is much safer and the dog food is biodegradable. A fun activity with our own targets that let you know by the sounds if you hit the target.

Soccer

Open field available for group pickup games, weather permitting.

Tire Swing

Tire Swing The tire swing is a favorite of all ages. Who doesn’t enjoy a turn on the tire swing.

Swimming

The camp pool is available to retreat groups during summer months. Contact the Jumonville office when inquiring to confirm availability and arrange pool access for your group.

Games

Games are always an important part of every week of summer camp. Both competitive and non-competitive games build communication skills, deepen relationships, and add fun and excitement to the summer camp experience.

Hiking

Wooded trails through the Green Cathedral give groups space to walk, reflect, and enjoy the mountain setting. The campus fit trail, funded in part by a Fayette County Tourism Grant, features ten exercise stations.
