May in the Mountains: A big mountain welcome to all!

What a BLESSED week at the Valle Crucis Conference Center! Spring has arrived and we have been mowing our grass and planting sorghum cane in our garden. We pray that we may have PEACE in 2008.

This week May 14-16 we welcome a group from Davidson College for a leadership retreat. Then for the weekend of May 16-18 we welcome a group from Holland's UMC out of Raleigh NC.

Perhaps you might consider giving a gift to support our ministry of hospitality here at the Conference Center. Large or small we do really appreciate them all!

Come and visit and bring a group for a retreat or meeting. We would love to help you plan your next retreat!

Secluded in an area of spectacular beauty, the Valle Crucis Conference Center overlooks a peaceful, rural valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We offer our ministry of hospitality to a diverse range of church and non-profit groups from around the Southeast.

Many groups say being at Valle Crucis feels like coming home. Maybe it is our informal and inspirational setting, where groups easily build community, or perhaps it is our popular homestyle meals.

Groups come to Valle Crucis for spiritual and personal renewal, for ski retreats and youth camps, for family reunions, and to meet and plan without the distractions of their usual work environment.

Once at Valle Crucis, groups have many recreational and cultural program options. We invite groups to explore our 448 acres of lush wooded mountain and open valley land, with its bold rushing streams and waterfalls. Perhaps your group would enjoy an old-time square dance in our historic Apple Barn.

The most popular pasttime at Valle Crucis is simply sitting in a rocker on one of our porches overlooking the pristine valley that has come to symbolize the sacred ground of Valle Crucis.
