There are a wide variety of Included Recreation choices plus Guided Recreation and Team Building which can be added to your customized retreat.

Our Office Manager can provide information on availability and scheduling of specific recreation choices on your chosen retreat dates.

Included Recreation

Camp Monroe’s Included Recreation options are open for use whenever you’d like! Set aside time for your group to use these options as a recreation and team building experience, or be spontaneous and stop by for impromptu adventure, fun, or competition.

Our Included Recreation options do not require facilitation or scheduling. If you’d like to reserve one of these options for your group to use privately, please speak with our Office Manager.

Your customized retreat package includes the following recreation choices.

Guided Recreation and Team Building

Guided recreation and team building require an additional fee and MUST be scheduled in advance since they require Camp Monroe Recreation Guides. Some recreation and team building activities require a minimum number of participants. Be sure to ask our Office Manager about adding these to your customized retreat package. 

Guided recreation and team building initiatives can be a customized experience to align with the goals of your group’s retreat. If you’re not sure which recreation and team building activities will best serve your group, our Office Manager will be happy to elaborate on appropriate age, scheduling options, and goals for each option.

Camp Monroe Retreat’s courses are built to ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology) standards. Camp Monroe’s Recreation Guides are trained to operate all guided recreation and team building equipment safely, efficiently, and effectively. In addition to keeping your group members safe, our Recreation Guides will be sure to engage, encourage, and challenge them to work together and think creatively. No matter the guided recreation or team building activity you choose, your Recreation Guide will frame team building and relationship lessons through the lens of Scripture and ensure that everyone has an amazing experience.

In the case of inclement weather, Camp Monroe Recreation Guides and Camp Directors will use their best judgment to restructure or adjust your scheduled guided recreation and team building activities. Recreation Guides are aware of weather safety guidelines for all activities and equipment. They will ensure that your group has fun and meets their goals no matter the weather.
