Montreat Family Retreat
Friday - Sunday, October 14-16, 2016
Set Your Feet Upon a Rock.
A chill in the air, color in the trees and church family all around. This gathering is for all ages, families, singles and couples! Montreat is the Presbyterian Conference Center located approximately 17 miles east of Asheville, NC and just north of Black Mountain, NC. This is a wonderful time to meet friends, new and "renewed".
The backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains is perfect place for family fun, morning hikes, sipping coffee on the porch or moments of personal reflection. The hours are unstructured to allow everyone to pursue their interests. Saturday morning kicks off with a hike for all ages. If you prefer a more level path, there are miles of trails and beautiful sights within the 4000 acres of the Montreat facility. Arrive when you can on Friday afternoon or evening. Activities throughout the day on Saturday include playgrounds, streams to follow, cards and other games, shopping and just being together.
