Food and lodging provided in registration price.


**Every retreat attendee is responsible to bring bedding and towels for their stay.


Be sure to bring sneakers, hiking boots, jacket, sunscreen/bug repellent (if you go on a hike), a notebook, laptop, Bible, writing utensil, portable instrument, and anything else you may need to write songs.


It's early yet, but I hear there may be an activity or two (hike, rock climbing, high ropes) if time permits. Parking can be tricky at times, but if some of you carpool, it should be fine. The retreat center is literally up a big mountain, so be prepared for a beautiful view.

If you would like to donate extra to cover plane tickets for our Resound speakers coming across the pond, especially since the price of gas has risen and tickets are more expensive, you can donate at the Giving Link below with "eagle rock sponsorship" in the memo line of your General donation.
