Some
things to do. . .
Koinonia is located
on 120 forested acres, with large meadow areas and a small man made lake which
provides unlimited possibilities for nature study and year-round outdoor
recreational activities. Summer outdoor activities include: baseball,
basketball, volleyball, soccer, swimming, hiking, etc. In the winter Koinonia
is blessed with frequent snowfalls which enable campers to enjoy the winter
sports of sledding and cross country skiing. This popular retreat center is a
year-round facility to be enjoyed by people of all ages.
What's
for dinner?
The staff at
Koinonia work hard to make sure every person who stays with us gets good food
each and every meal. Menus are planned in advance with the needs of the group
and individuals in mind.
