Rooted Family Retreat Info:
On the first weekend of June, all of the Rooted Family (NWA and SWMO) are invited to the 1st Annual Rooted Family Retreat hosted at The Ark Retreat Center. We will kickoff on Friday, June 1st and will conclude on Sunday June 3rd.
Location
The Ark Retreat Center is located in beautiful Eagle Rock Missouri. Situated in the heart of the beautiful Ozarks, The Ark Christian Retreat Center provides an ideal place for churches and Christian groups to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by the nearby Mark Twain National Forrest, The Ark is located on the Roaring River arm of Table Rock Lake. Beautiful walking trails meander through majestic oak, walnut and cedar trees, leading from bluffs overlooking the lake all the way down to water’s edge.
The Ark is located roughly 1 hr 15 min from Fayetteville and 1hr 30 min from Joplin.

Accommodations
The accommodations are very simple dorm style rooms. Each guest room contains 2 double beds and 1 single bed along with private bathrooms. In addition folks are able to tent camp or there are a few places to hookup an RV or camper.
If you have access to a camper or enjoy tent camping, this is highly encouraged due to the limited capacity of the dorm facility.
