The lobby and all recreation areas are closed after 11:00 pm. We ask children to be with their parents and that all areas will be quiet after that time. Pianos in the Sunroom, Oakroom, and Cedar Hall should not be played after 11:00 pm.

With respect to the purpose and goals of the retreat center atmosphere, we strongly discourage the use of radios, tv's, "boom boxes", radio-controlled toys, and other noisemaking electronic items while on retreat. If you do use them, the volume must be confined to your own room or camper. They may not be used anywhere outdoors, in public lounges, at the pool or in recreation areas.

Smoking and use of alcoholic beverages are not permitted anywhere on the grounds or buildings.

Spruce Lake Retreat is a Christian camp affiliated with the Franconia Mennonite Conference of Mennonite Church USA. Our mission is to "Point People Toward Christ" regardless of denominational background. As a result, we do not spend much time on denominational distinctives. Instead, we focus on sharing God's love, nurturing appreciation for the Bible, inviting people to develop a personal walk with Jesus Christ, and helping them understand their call to serve others with the gifts that God has provided them.

The use of fireworks of any kind and the use of firearms in any form - including pellet guns, paintball guns, slingshots and BB guns - are not permitted anywhere on the grounds.

Pets are not permitted anywhere on the grounds. The only exceptions are Seeing Eye Dogs and other certified Helper animals.
Spruce Lake is blessed with an abundance of wildlife, both plants and animals. Please allow all animals and plants to remain in their forest home.

Deposits are non-refundable, and groups that cancel less than three months prior to the retreat are responsible for 80 percent of the number of persons listed on their contract, or the updated number submitted with the Group Three Month Update Form.
