A successful event goes beyond entertainment.

Planning a retreat is a lot of work. From choosing a theme, to planning the schedule, to getting a guest speaker, and inviting folks to come, there are a thousand details to keep track of. At WCRC, we understand what you’re going through and we’re here to help! With all the work you are putting in, the last thing you need is a retreat center that doesn’t live up to your group’s expectations.
