Holden Village is a year-round ecumenical Christian renewal center, rooted in the Lutheran tradition. Once the site of one of the largest copper mines in the United States, Holden Village is nestled in the enchanting beauty of the Cascade Mountains near Chelan, Washington. Each year it attracts over 7,000 people for renewal through worship, study, work, recreation, celebration and conversation.
Holden's core program is primarily adult in nature, with opportunities for children coming with families. Each day at Holden is framed by worship: Spoken Prayer at breakfast and Evening Prayer as twilight comes. Daily education sessions, including Bible Study, are offered by a diverse group of volunteer teaching staff. Recreation opportunities abound for all ages.
Remote and isolated, Holden Village is truly "a place apart." You can travel there only by a scenic boat ride on Lake Chelan, followed by an 11-mile ride up Railroad Creek Valley. There are no roads connecting Holden to the rest of the world. Telephones, televisions, fax machines and pagers don't work there. Nor is there a link to e-mail or the World Wide Web.
Holden's facilities include a sauna, children's playground, bookstore, post office, ice cream snack bar, historical museum, library, first aid station, Hike Haus, pool hall and bowling alley.
Most guests are housed in comfortable lodge rooms accommodating 2-4 people, each with a sink. Bathrooms are down the hall. Families are typically housed in one bunk/family room. A limited number of wheelchair accessible rooms are available. For more information on Holden Village, you can visit their web site at www.holdenvillage.org
We will travel by charter bus, departing from Luther Crest. When we arrive in Chelan, WA we will travel by boat to Holden Village. The Event also will have stops for the Medora Musical and Pitchfork Fondue, Grand Coulee Dam, Coeur d'Alene Cellars, and a day in Yellowstone National Park! Also included: 28 delicious meals (only four are on your own), comfortable lodging and plenty of BUS FUN!
