The North Carolina Conference is home to three beautiful retreat centers that offer a variety of programming, lodging, and delicious meals for your church retreat needs. 

Chestnut Ridge Camp & Retreat Center in Efland has a beautiful woodland setting, a large lake worship space, and plenty of room for outdoor recreation. Their specialty programs include equestrian and a community farm. The site features about 100 beds, climate-controlled, and full baths. Buffet-style meals are served, often including foods grown at the farm. Email info@campchestnutridge.org for availability and pricing.

Don Lee Camp & Retreat Center in Arapahoe is located on the Neuse River Estuary, which is about 3 miles wide in front of camp. It includes waterfront worship spaces, indoor meeting spaces, and family-style meals. Bunk bed accommodations include 160 beds in climate-controlled cabins with full baths and an additional 96 beds available in open-air cabins.

Rockfish Camp & Retreat Center in Parkton is located on 400+ acres in the sandhills and offers hotel-style accommodations and group cabins, all climate-controlled. Total capacity with both styles is about 300. Meandering through the property is Lake Upchurch, featuring majestic cypress trees and calm waters. The Bergland Adult Retreat Center features meeting space adjacent to sleeping rooms with a small kitchen. Meals are served buffet style. Email info@camprockfish.org for availability and pricing.
