RETREATS

Whether for a business retreat,
​workshop, or family reunion,
Beckwith is far enough away to come together.

---

Though only a short drive from Fairhope or Mobile, Beckwith imparts a perspective of repose the moment you arrive. Perhaps it’s the centuries’ old live oaks and stately pines that invite you to pause,  Or the gentle waves of Weeks Bay that lap the shoreline with a familiar rhythm.

Here, among 82 acres, our bay side retreat provides a tranquil setting to play, relax, plan, learn and build relationships. No matter what your group seeks, Beckwith is far enough away to escape the everyday and come together―in mind and mission. Our setting, facilities and friendly staff are the ideal host for both adult and youth retreats, as well as workshops, family reunions, and weddings.

Beckwith Retreat Facilities
Our retreat center facilities accommodate groups from 15–200 people, with six indoor meeting rooms an outdoor recreation pavilion, plentiful covered porches and open green spaces for gathering in pleasant weather.

Choice overnight accommodations and an airy cafe serving delicious meals ensure your round-the-clock comfort. Enjoy rocking on the porch, sunrise meditation on the pier, or a journey by canoe among pelicans and dolphins.

A retreat at Beckwith affords you the time and space for true renewal.

"With great anticipation… the women of St. Christopher’s look forward to our annual “Women’s Retreat” at Beckwith.  There’s some sort of magic that happens to us there…  We know that “feeling” is God’s gracious Spirit that blesses us in a place that is full of peace, beauty and wonderful memories.  At Beckwith, we get away from the phone calls and demands of daily living, and experience hearts being bound together in the love of Jesus and the bond of sisterhood.  In both the planning and execution – the Beckwith staff couldn’t be more helpful.  To all of them, thanks!  For us –  it’s Fun, Freeing and Faith-building.  “Come and See…”

Bringing our Management Team together at Beckwith was a powerful experience. It is easy for organizations to forget that Team Building events can become “ordinary” when they are held continually in the workplace. Changing the atmosphere for these events can spark an unbelievable amount of synergy among your team. I witnessed this first hand when we held our Team Building events at Beckwith.

We were far enough away from the manufacturing line to truly experience each other and grow as a Team with zero interruption or distraction. The ropes course is a must. I could see the communication and trust change immediately after completing the first Team Challenge. The surveys I received from the Team Members after the event were 100% positive! We WILL have additional events at Beckwith!
