Need a weekend for self-care? Come, let us serve you!

Stop. Pause. Breathe Deep! At our annual Women’s Retreat, all the choices are yours, whether that’s cruising on the Giant Swing, taking a walk by the lake, spending time with friends new and old, or simply doing some much needed (and well deserved) relaxing. Join us March 14-16, 2025 for the Spring Women’s Retreat at Camp Lutherhaven on Lake Coeur d’Alene!

2025 Theme: Abide

Lutherhaven is so excited to welcome Guest Speaker, Amy Meyer, to our 2025 Spring Women’s Retreat! Our theme for the weekend is, “Abide” from John 15:4, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.”

Amy loves spending time by water, whether on her kayak or enjoying a mountain stream. Her passion lies in sharing her experiences and insights with others. She does this through speaking, facilitating discussion, and teaching. She enjoys watching people discover new things, and be inspired to go and practice what they’ve learned. Amy loves writing and has written a book, Snapshots and Stories: Increasing Awareness of God’s Faithfulness Through the Practice of Journaling. Amy’s been a journaler from a young age and has a passion for writing prayers to God and keeping track of what she is thankful for—being reminded of God’s faithfulness and how she can trust him with everything.

Amy lives in Madison, WI and serves as the Connecting Lifestyles Coordinator at her church where she gets to connect people to small groups, disciple relationships, and use their gifts to serve. She partners with her husband, Jeff in ministry, and her greatest joy is her 4 daughters and being Mimi to their 5 grandchildren.

From Past Participants

“It was awesome to be reminded that we could make the weekend what we wanted and didn’t have to stick to a schedule!”

“I loved being out in the woods with a group of wonderful ladies enjoying the setting when I could relax for a few days and be able to put the dishes, the bills and the chores behind me.”

“I really enjoyed the rocking chairs by the fireplaces, the wine and chocolate night and the perfect blend of structured vs. free time.”

“It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Lutherhaven and within a few minutes I remember exactly why we love it so much! You all do an amazing job showering God’s love on everyone that sets foot on camp grounds…thank you for all you do!”

“This year will be my fourth in a row. I’ve never been disappointed and always come away blessed with new friends and enriched spiritual growth.”

“What a great way to integrate women new to your church into your Christian community!”
