Silver Lake is a place for everyone to experience nature, make new friends, and explore your faith. With more than 60 acres of wooded land on lakeside shores, Silver Lake offers many opportunities for people of all ages to take risks and try new things with the support of an intentional Christian community. 

We worship, learn, play, serve, and work together, respecting the right of private judgement. We seek to provide a safe environment of acceptance regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation, reflecting our unity in Christ and respecting the faith journeys of all of God’s children.

Health and Safety

The safety of our campers, guests, staff, and volunteers is always the first priority of Silver Lake. We are continually reviewing our policies and procedures to ensure we are following the best practices of the camping and retreat industry, as well as applicable state and federal guidelines.

1. We are strongly recommending persons who come to Silver Lake to be fully vaccinated, which includes a COVID vaccination in the last 12 months.
2. We are not requiring COVID vaccination for retreat groups, nor or we are expecting group leaders to inspect COVID cards to verify vaccination status.
3. We continue to recognize the merit of ensuring the health of all of our visitors, guests, and friends of Silver Lake, and so we do ask that any person who is experiencing symptoms of unhealth, including things like fever, vomiting, diarrhea to stay home and recover.
4. These guidelines recognize that with the fluctuations in COVID cases nationwide, we will need to look at our plan often, and we may need to make feasible adjustments along the way, especially if things get worse across the nation.
