Spring Retreat
Navah Spring Retreat is a time for all of Navah to come together in a beautiful setting to connect with one another as one church family.
Prairie Star Ranch is situated on 291 beautiful acres of sprawling prairie, wooded forests, and two lakes.
The center of the property sports plenty of open, flat ground for games and large-group activities, as well as trees perfect for lounging and lingering in the shade. There is a deck on the main lodge with the beautiful views overlooking the two lakes, which offer chances for fishing and kayaking.
There are many well-tended hiking trails of varying lengths, many of which follow along the curving path of Tequa Creek and include lakeside swings and bridges . Beyond the forests, prairieland houses a herd of roughly 30 horses.
Prairie Star is a Catholic Retreat Center and has welcomed us onto their property for 17 years. Please honor their faith traditions and feel free to participate in the stations they have set up around the property. Also note, that they have a few policies we need to follow that include: no swimming in the lakes, no pets on the property, and no smoking/alcohol.
Join us at our 2024 Spring Retreat starting May 4th at 10:00 am and ending May 5th at 12:00 pm (welcome to linger longer, but the buildings will be closed after 1:00 pm)
