Renew

Renew: Ministry Workers Retreat

Come Away and Rest a While.

Ministry is beautiful — but it’s also demanding. The weight of caring for others, the emotional load, the constant outpouring… it adds up.
Renew is a space for you to step back and catch your breath. Nestled in the mountains of Montana, Camp Bighorn offers a peaceful, spacious setting designed to restore your soul and refill what ministry so often pours out.

Whether you’ve been running hard or simply need a quiet moment, this retreat is for you.

The Heart of Renew

We created Renew for one reason: to care for those who spend their lives caring for others.

Our hope is that during these few days, you’ll experience:

  • True Rest – time to sleep in, go for a walk, read by the fire, or just be still.
  • Spiritual Refreshment – guided rhythms of prayer, Scripture, and silence to help you reconnect with God.
  • Meaningful Connection – space to laugh, share, and be encouraged by others in ministry who get it.
  • Natural Beauty – quiet forests, mountain trails, and a lodge that invites you to slow down and breathe deep.

No expectations. No performance. Just space for you to be human — and be with Jesus.

Optional Programing

Providing a restful environment for you is our priority. If adventure sports bring you life, we want to make them available. The afternoons of the 9th and 10th, we will have land or water adventures available per registrant's interest. Adventure options may include rock climbing, an aerial adventure park, rafting, canoeing, SUPing, and hiking.

Mornings will begin with breakfast, devotional, and an optional hike.

Rest looks different for everyone. For some, it's a quiet afternoon with a book and a view. For others, it's moving your body, laughing with friends, and feeling the rush of fresh mountain air.

If adventure brings you life, we’ve got you covered.

On the afternoons of September 9th and 10th, you'll have the option to join in on guided land or water adventures based on your interest. Activities may include:

  • Rock Climbing
  • Aerial Adventure Park
  • White Water Rafting
  • Canoeing or Stand-Up Paddleboarding
  • Scenic Mountain Hikes

Mornings will begin peacefully with breakfast, a group devotional, and an optional hike for those who want to start the day on the trail.

Whether you crave quiet or a little adrenaline, you’ll have space to choose what fills your cup.

From Our Campers

"From the very beginning people were welcoming. The entire atmosphere felt like home and it was so easy to connect with people."

Darian — Age 16

"This weekend exceeded our expectations. Having activities and discussions coincide made it relative to real life. We definitely felt more like family than visitors."

Nancy — Age 34

"The effects are still being felt within our youth group and the students cannot wait to return to Bighorn."
