Develop your students' leadership abilities and communities through leadership retreats.
The St. Thomas More Center’s retreat service is born out of our primary mission to serve youth and young adults as they become joy-filled missionary disciples of Christ. As Christ habitually went up the mountain to pray, our service exists to provide a safe, welcoming environment for youth ministers and retreat leaders to gather together the young church to seek the Lord in silence and solitude. We work with you to help you get the retreat you're looking for; we want your time with us to be fruitful.
Want to collaborate with us for certain activities or talks? Great! We want to make this process as easy as we can. We take a collaborative approach to event planning tailored to your organization's individual needs.
We offer day retreats where we can help you build trust and community for your team. Inside or outside we've got what you're looking for: confidence course, high ropes*, crate stacker*, low ropes - indoor team building elements!
(Outdoor activities dependent on weather and time of year).
Each cabin will have 12 bunk beds, 3 toilet stalls, 4 showers and 3 sinks. One shower and bathroom stall per cabin are handicap accessible. (Watch the video to see the new cabins!)
Along with our cabins there are single and double apartments located in Dingman Lodge. We also have a small retreat house with bedrooms, a fully furnished kitchen, and living room area.
We are located outside of Panora, IA above Lake Panorama, roughly 1 hour west of Des Moines and about 90 minutes east of Council Bluffs, IA.
