Fruits & Roots

April 22-25, 2025

What is Fruits and Roots?

Beginning in the Spring of 2024, Calumet embarked on a journey of explortation with people of any age who can make time to get to Calumet during the mid-week. Fruits & Roots is a learning experience -- an opportunity to grow, engage, and be renewed. At each Fruits & Roots retreat, participants will dig into one of the nine fruits of the Spirit during a multi-day visit to Calumet. Calumet's programs -- especially this one -- are deeply rooted in Christ. What does that mean?

Calumet endeavors to be a place of welcome, hospitality, safety, compassion, and goodness. The meals that are served are beautifully presented, absolutely delicious, and -- well -- let's just say "plentiful" is a good descriptive word. Our accommdoations are comfortable. Guests staying in the Conference Center and the Village Cabins will enjoy private bathrooms. Those who choose the Retreat Lodge or the Staff House by the Lake will make use of common bathrooms. And there is the option to re-visit the old classic camp days by opting for a modest cabin that is positioned near to one of our clean, well maintained bathroom facilities. Our programs are planned and implemented in such a way that guests quickly get to know each other and naturally begin to develop friendships.

Here's some pictures from this fall's retreat!
