come away and REST awhile

 

Welcome to

The Association Retreat Center

The ARC is located in northwestern Wisconsin along the beautiful St. Croix River Valley, just 45 minutes from the Minneapolis-St Paul Metropolitan area. From 1954-1975 the grounds where the ARC now stands served as a Radar Base for the USAF. In 1979, the abandoned radar base was purchased by the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations (AFLC) and is now a year-round, full service camp and retreat center that has served the St. Croix River Valley for over 40 years.

Our Mission

The ARC exists to glorify Jesus Christ by providing a place where people can be equipped to make a positive difference in their lives, homes, churches, and communities.

Our Theme

"Come Away and Rest Awhile" - Mark 6:31

Our Vision

Through updated facilities and gracious hospitality, The ARC will show Christ's love in helping build loving relationships and a firm foundation through team-building, leadership training, and physical and spiritual renewal for all ages.
