WELCOME, ADVENTURERS!
Every year, a vibrant crew of nerdy faith leaders come together to form adventuring parties in an epic, week-long retreat of Dungeons & Dragons. With a mix of rest, play, study, worship, spiritual practices, and prayer this retreat explores topics of faith and life through the world of roleplaying games. Whether you’re a beginner or have played the game for years, you’re welcome here! We’d love to meet you (and your characters!)
