RVR is known for its quality and variety of menu options and guest-satisfying meals! We are happy to work with special food concerns as well.

We are a non-denominational Christian Camp, and our purpose is to create an environment where guests and staff can grow toward their full, God-given potential. Our larger meeting spaces are all fully equipped for audio-visual needs of modern worship services.

We have the Old Town Meeting House which comfortably seats up to 225 people but allows up to 300 max; the Buffalo Lodge which seats up to 100, the Oxbow Meeting room which seats up to 40, and the Longhouse meeting room which can seat up to 70.

Pool is not available for retreat rental use. Only open during our summer youth camp programs.
