It Take An Army

When the retreat group arrives on a late Friday afternoon, the view is usually a calming image of open space, empty building, mowed lawns and a view of the bay that makes one stand still and stare. Some describe the calming feeling they get when they make the turn at the first Camp Maria Retreat center sign and then the second. 

But all this beauty and all the buildings ready for their “guests” does not happen automatically. The devoted Camp Maria Retreat Center staff takes great proud in doing their work over and over again to welcome each group with a “home away from home.”
