Retreats at Dickson Valley

160 acres in Kendall County, about an hour from Chicago. We've been hosting church groups, ministries, and organizations here since 1989 — and we still love doing it.

A place to step away and be together.

Retreating well doesn't have to be complicated. We handle the lodging, meals, and activities so your group can focus on what you actually came for — connecting with each other and with God.

We've hosted 75+ retreats a year for churches, youth groups, nonprofits, and families. We know how to take care of groups, and we're glad to help you plan.

96% of groups say they'd come back.

That number comes from real post-retreat surveys, and we don't take it lightly. We work hard to make every group feel cared for from the first email to the last meal.
