COM recognizes that some of the greatest times of bonding and building relationships comes at times when we are far away from the distractions that the college life brings.  Each year we plan trips - some afternoon trips and others weekend trips - to facilitate this need!

Our annual fall retreat is held the first week of November each year.  We travel to Berg Haus in Cleona, PA - a peaceful cabin in the rolling hills of Lebanon County.  The retreat gives an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and the changing of the leaves, as well as the importance of "getting away from it all" and growing in our relationships and in our faith.  The retreat always has a theme for the weekend which the short lessons meditative times revolve around.  Of course -- there's also lots of fun games and team-building activities, as well as time to relax by the fire or look out into the valley at the town below.  It is our hope that you will not return to Millersville University at the end of the weekend being the same way you were when you left! 

Our annual spring retreat is held in mid-April, around the time we wrap up the semester. We again travel to Berg Haus, where we enjoy another relaxing weekend with friends.

A weekend in the spring includes a relaxing camping trip.  In the past, we have traveled to the beautiful Shenandoah National Park in Virginia for a weekend trip!  There is truly no better way to see God's marvelous Works than looking at this country from the top of a mountainous lookout!

We also take afternoon trips to places like Chique's Rock - a small Lancaster County park which graces the Susquehanna River shoreline.  With hot dogs and chips in tow, we trek out to enjoy the setting sun along the water.

Sound like fun?  It is!  These beautiful trips are an important part of what makes the friendships in Christians Open Minded so strong.  Check our Calendar of Events page to see what we have planned for this semester!
