We know it's not the beach like the last 4 years-- we are sad we outgrew Ocean Grove, too. But embracing Autumn in the Hudson Valley is the next best thing for an escape outside the City in October!!
"The beach retreat was huge for my immersion into NYC. I had been here for a month and had really struggled meeting people and developing relationships. The retreat came at the perfect time to spend quality time with a few individuals and really establish community in the city. The people I met during the retreat are now my closest friends in the city!"
"Cru beach retreat was the first time that I really got to know different people in the city. There's something about getting away and spending the weekend with people that bonds you. It's such a relaxing, rejuvenating break from the city, during one of the most busy (and fun) times of year. If you're new to the city or been here for a while and looking for community, you should look into coming along to the Cru retreat this year!"
"The annual Cru retreat embodies all the good things that we don't always get to experience in this city. It's lowest you'll ever pay to stay at a beach house, stuff yourself with delicious food as well as connect with loving people who really do want to do life with you! Gospel work was never intended to be a lone walk and the Cru retreat is a great place to meet and get to know fellow laborers!"

The location is very accessible via Metro North, but if you want to go in with a few people to rent a car, feel free!

We can help you out!
More travel details are to come!
SATURDAY | 07
We will gather together in the morning and after dinner to worship together, hear some perspective from Scripture, and discuss. Otherwise, the day will be yours to rest, enjoy apple picking, go antique shopping, and spend time with friends new and old. And if college football is your thing, you will not only not be alone, but in good company. All meals on Saturday are included in the price of the get-a-way
SUNDAY | 08
We will have one more intentional gathering to engage and renew our hearts. That will end around 11:00 and you will be free to leave whenever you need to. Feel free to stick around and enjoy the area if you'd like.
