REFRESH YOUR LIFE

and Come Together in Christ

Brethren Retreat at Shipshewana Lake

Refreshing the Human Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul

You were not meant to move through life feeling disconnected, depleted, or spiritually worn down.

We believe you need space to step away from the noise, reconnect with God, and remember what matters most. That is why Camp Shipshewana Brethren Retreat exists.

We share the love of Jesus Christ, teach the truth of salvation, develop Christian leaders, and create opportunities for believers to be refreshed in their daily walk.

Our goal is simple: to help you draw closer to Christ, strengthen your relationships, and return home refreshed for what comes next.
