Retreats
Hinton Center provides a unique setting to get away from the everyday routine for an opportunity of uninterrupted fellowship, learning, and relaxation. Our serene setting gives a sense of renewal and rejuvenation that is often hard to find in familiar surroundings. Our facilities can accommodate groups of all sizes and budgets. We offer a variety of meeting and worship spaces, as well as meal options that include fresh fare created by our executive chef or meals you prepare yourself. Our campus has cell phone service and Wi-Fi internet throughout, and your audio-video needs are efficiently coordinated. Free time activities both on campus and in the surrounding area are abundant.

Reunions
Whether it’s a family reunion, a gathering of former classmates or colleagues, or just a vacation away with friends, Hinton Center is the destination that will provide your group’s every need for comfortable lodging, delicious meals, and enjoyable activities.
Hinton Center is open year round, so reunion groups may gather and celebrate during holidays. Reunions during the spring, summer, and fall enjoy each season’s changing beauty, as the mountain and lake views are transformed. You may choose to do meals on your own, eat in our dining room, or enjoy a combination.
