Retreats
Wanna get away from it all? Need to take some time to smell the roses? Let Pathways help! We have beautiful facilities available for your group to rent.
Camp Emmaus
Camp Emmaus is located just outside of Menahga, MN. Emmaus offers year-round retreat and conference facilities for groups of all types in a peaceful and pristine setting. Camp Emmaus is ideal for retreats, family reunions, banquets, and meetings. The Challenge Course at Camp Emmaus also opens up possibilities for team building retreats.
Environment
Though only two miles from town, Camp Emmaus gives one the feeling of total seclusion. Camp’s 340 acres of pine and oak forest make it easy to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life. Emmaus surrounds beautiful Lake Morgan, which is stocked with rainbow trout, and there is additional shoreline on Stocking Lake. A network of hiking trails leads to every corner of camp. Hikers with sharp eyes frequently spot deer, turkeys, various birds – including eagles.
The Lodge at Emmaus
The Lodge at Emmaus is the perfect place for a retreat, reunion, banquet or meeting. The Lodge contains our kitchen and dining area which will comfortably serve groups up to 200 people. The dining room has a beautiful stone fireplace and large windows overlooking Lake Morgan. A comfortable loft, a conference room offer further options for groups using the facility.
The Lodge also has 8 hotel-style rooms which will accommodate a total of 30 people. Each room will sleep 3-4 people, and each has its own bathroom. Groups staying in The Lodge will need to bring their own bedding and towels.
Other Lodging Options
Cabin Friendship is available for use September through May. It can sleep up to 24 people in one large dormitory style room with bunk beds. The bathrooms are adjacent to the sleeping room, as is a large gathering space with a fireplace.
During the warmer months, Emmaus also has 10 rustic cabins which can accommodate up to 120 people. Restroom and shower facilities are located a short walk from these cabins.
Dining
The Lodge has a complete commercial style kitchen. Groups at Camp Emmaus may choose to have Pathways provide delicious meals and snacks for their retreat or they may use the kitchen to prepare meals on their own.
