Every fall, men from across all VBC campuses converge at Silver Birch Ranch in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for our annual men's retreat. This is a weekend of fun, food, and friendship rooted in teaching from God's Word.
This is a great weekend to be refreshed from the grind of everyday life. Whether you're looking for fast-paced action or time to slow life down and reflect on God, Silver Birch Ranch is the place to do so.
Activities: Manstyle campfires, Shotgun Trap Shooting, Pistol Range, Climbing Wall, Zip Line, Horseback Riding, Airsoft, Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Mini Golf, Pickleball, Horseshoes, Archery, Pontoon Rides, and more.
Ages 13+
Official Men's Retreat is September 26-28
Carpools will be organized.
This retreat usually sells out, so please sign up soon!
EARLY START OPTION: Many Village guys will head up a day or two early (9/24 or 9/25) to get in extra relaxation, hangout time, campfires, fishing, and of course, for lots of GRILLING (it's impressive)!
