One whiff of our savory, buffet-style meals, and you’ll know Brookhaven is not your average retreat center. Let our courteous staff serve you while you enjoy a leisurely time of fellowship. Afterward, take a stroll around our plush pine-covered facility. Brookhaven offers a beautifully landscaped surrounding that will help you hear the Master’s voice.

View from Nazareth's deckWorship the Lord in one of our two spacious climate-controlled conference buildings. Our Nazareth Conference Building seats up to 300 and offers a wrap-around deck overlooking the lake and the Hebron Conference Building seats up to 125 and also offers a wrap-around deck overlooking the lake. Your group may also enjoy our outdoor amphitheater overlooking Brooks Lake and encouraging you to reflect upon the wonder of God’s creation. It will be an unforgettable experience for you and your group.

Brookhaven's Tiberius Guesthouse, which has a lake view, is an option for small groups. Three to ten people can rent the guesthouse and enjoy its three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, and spacious deck. The guesthouse is available for a donation of $174/night when it's rented apart from other facilities. It's also available to be used in conjunction with retreats, when meals are being served, for the same rates as your retreat guests in the motels or lodge.

The guesthouse is not available from May 20-August 15.

Activities
At your retreat, enjoy any and all of the games and activities we offer such as table tennis, foosball, or air hockey in our rec room; tennis or basketball on our covered pavilion; or sand volleyball at the playing field, then cool off by making a splash in our swimming pool or Galilee Lagoon Water Playground — courtesy of the zip line, trapeze, or our Wet Willie slide. Your retreat will not only be a blast, it can be an opportunity to build unity and teamwork within your group by taking advantage of activities such as our challenging ropes course featuring “the Breathtaker,” a high-element experience! During the summer, certified ropes course facilitators will guide guests through the course, but in the non-summer months, guests are provided with a guide document to assist them in navigating the elements.

Accommodations
