Our Ten year plan is to host at least 10-12 week long camps a year and many 2-3 day retreats. We also envision having care cottage for pastoral staff and traveling missionary families. We envision a well-groomed property with swimming, water sports, obstacle courses, miniature golf, nature trails, prayer gardens, and ample dining and worship space. It is our goal to reach thousands of young people for Christ and to minister to countless church leaders through Stillwater Ministry.
