A Very Special Time with W.A.R.M

When December comes to Camp Maria Retreat Center, life usually settles down. A few groups will be with us on a weekend, the maintenance staff is getting ready for “winter”, our food service is making plans for the new year, and the administrative staff is finishing up 2018 with final reports, records and plans for 2019.  

Two years ago, everything changed and we are delighted. We became the host site for two week for a group known as W.A.R.M. – the week before and the week including Christmas.

Winter Is Here, But Life Goes On

The winds of winter and the cold weather are present every day now at Camp Maria Retreat Center. The pool is closed, the canoes are stored, and the cabins are shuttered. Few people are seen walking around the ground, but lights are on in The Roost and the Spiritual Center. The Dining Hall looks busy – from the staff preparing for meals and the small groups getting for coffee and conversation in the main room. These are very special groups and guests who arrive in December.
