What is SonScape
Retreats?
SonScape
Retreats is a small group
spiritual retreat for those in
ministry and their spouses. The
week-long experience in the beauty
of the Colorado Rocky Mountains or
in the
mountain wilderness in Georgia serves as a
place for those in ministry to rest,
receive, recreate and renew their
spirits.

cost?
Realizing that financial
resources vary widely for those in
ministry, we have developed a
sliding fee scale as well as a
variety of scholarship
opportunities. We do not want
finances to keep anyone from
