                What Our Guests Are Saying

                RCP is our home away from home. Multiple generations for over 50 years have worshiped here and we hope to continue for many years to come. We began in tents in the old tent city before being able to move into the cabins and lodges we use now. We love this place!

                - Gayle Kerr (United Christian Ashram Northern California)

                My buddy and I realized that 10 years ago we were in the same spot playing ball. But today we were playing while trying to navigate our babies in the strollers. RCP connects people for more than a few days, we build relationships that last years and continue into future generations. We cannot wait to be back next year!

                - Bryan Refuezo (Messengers of the Cross)

                The energy and care of the RCP Staff is incredible. One special Staff member made sure to try and learn as many [of our group members’] names… which made them feel seen!

                - Leadership Team ( Cornerstone Evangelical Baptist Church)

                The moment we drove in we could feel the Lord’s presence.

                RCP is such a beautiful place and our time here was such a blessing.
