To retreat is to step outside of our normal lives in order to reflect on where we have been and where we might be going; to catch a glimpse of how we might live differently; and to listen for the still, small voice of God that still whispers throughout the land.

Nestled in the Adirondack mountains on 245 wooded acres, and snuggled against Sacandaga Lake, Fowler Camp and Retreat Center is an ideal place to hold your meeting or retreat. Each of Fowler's three year round retreat centers is equipped to provide for your group's needs.

We have a number of online resources to assist you in planning your retreat: Feel free to call our office with any questions you may have regarding your retreat at Fowler!

Summer Adirondack Weekends

If you ever wanted to come to camp as an adult (and still sleep in a real bed!), check out what's new this summer.

Adirondack Weekends, lead by Fowler staff, are designed to be long weekends (Thursday night - Sunday morning) to give you and  your group a new way to enjoy the Adirondacks and all that Fowler has to offer.
