Day Retreats
Check out our day retreats on the First Monday, Second Tuesday, Third Wednesday, and Fourth Thursday each month (BBCC schedule permitting).  Our Day Retreats are from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm and include the program, a gourmet lunch, and all-day beverage service.  The fee for our Day Retreats is $30; please pre-register with fee one week prior to the retreat.  The deadline to register for each retreat is used to determine if we have enough participants to hold the program. It is possible to register after the deadline based on space.  Make your retreat into an overnight personal retreat.  Contact Anne Ellis, in our Guest Services office, for room availability (802-658-6233).

Overnight Retreats
Extended retreats, from one to four nights, will allow us to delve into a variety of topics in more depth with plenty of time for rest, relaxation, self-care and rejuvenation.  Cost will vary depending upon the event.

Family Fun Events
Family oriented events will be held monthly on a Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday. Enjoy hiking, playing games, making crafts, eating simple, comfortable food, singing & worshiping together. Watch for special surprises such as Contra Dancing, smores on the beach, treasure hunt, swimming, canoeing…..  Cost will vary depending on the event.

Benefits
Show your love and support for Rock Point by attending a benefit (or two, or three) at Bishop Booth. Help a good cause and have some fun at the same time.  We can’t do it without YOU!

Taize Worship
Evening Prayer in the Taize style will be held the second Wednesday of each month at 6:00 in St. Michael’s Chapel at BBCC. Taize is an ecumenical, monastic community in the heart of France that seeks to live simply and help bring reconciliation in the midst of a world in turmoil.

See information on Rock Point Summer Camp, which takes place at the BBCC during the summer.
