Walking Stick Retreat at
Blowing Rock Conference Center
in Blowing Rock, NC
September 11 - 13, 2026
THEME: To Be Announced
​
Join the Walking Stick Tribe September 11-13, 2026 in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. The Blowing Rock Conference Center is located in the beautiful mountain village of Blowing Rock, NC, sitting at the highest point in the village at an elevation of 3800 feet.
Located just miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this conference center is the perfect place for hiking, bird watching, or a drive on the Parkway during your free time.
You will experience times of challenging teaching, small group interaction, and life-changing worship. You’ll also have time to reconnect with old friends, and meet new ones, walk to the outdoor chapel or pray with staff.
We believe the Christian life is to be lived in community and we invite you to be a part of our wonderful, sometimes strange and loving tribe where you can be known and accepted while being invited to grow and heal from the scrapes and bruises of life or just experience a weekend of spiritual refreshment.
We hope to see you in September!
