We provide world changing experiences

| Camps | Conferences | Retreats |

We like to say, “What happens at Heartland changes the world!” What do we mean by that? Perhaps you will learn something new as it relates to the things of God. Maybe you will grow closer to Jesus because of your time here. Could it be that you will encounter Christ in a fresh, life-changing way?

Whether you come for a day or a weeklong summer camp, we truly believe that your world will be changed, which will result in the world around you being changed, because of what God does in your life during an experience at Heartland.

Heartland is the perfect location for you to get away from the daily routine. Take time to discover the life change that can occur during retreats, conferencing, or just by slowing down for a few days.

Nestled in the midst of over 360 scenic acres, Heartland’s well-equipped facilities are suited to host group sizes from 2-700 with meal service, accommodations and recreation opportunities available to round out your experience.

Come encounter everything that Heartland has to offer during your next retreat, conference, corporate team building event, outdoor school or personal get-away.

The Mission of Heartland is:

To provide experiences for people of all ages,

to learn, grow and encounter the love and presence of God.

2022 Winter and spring retreat packages now available!

Our group has had an annual retreat for 34 years. We tried many different types of places over the years and Heartland is head and shoulders above them all. Wonderful accommodations, staff and food and a fabulous value. We could not … More ask for more. We've been at Heartland for 13 years and plan on many more to come!

Heartland is by far the best camp we have been to. Our youth ministry started going there in 2013 after attending multiple facilities. The staff is exceptional. They go above and beyond to accommodate each group. The food is by far the … More best “Camp” food. The dorms are clean and beds are very comfortable. I can’t say enough about it! We will be coming back!!

Heartland never disappoints. Rob and Emily were fantastic with our group of 18. We visited for a leadership retreat and came out stronger and closer as a team. I highly recommend using Heartland for corporate team building events. The staff … More is amazing, the food is great, and the accommodations are very comfortable.

Just got back from an incredible leadership retreat at Heartland. Lonnie and his team were incredibly gracious hosts! Rob was very sharp and really put our leaders through the paces on the team building activities. Can’t wait to come back … More again in the Spring and try the COMPASS day with the high ropes course, zip line and climbing wall. Would strongly recommend for businesses and non profits alike.
