Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the 902-acre Ridge Haven Conference and Retreat Center is the ideal setting for a weekend excursion, a family vacation or a special seminar. From camping facilities to apartments, from cafeterias to kitchens, from swimming pools and playgrounds to hiking trails, Ridge Haven can fulfill your specific needs to get away from the daily stresses of life.



The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) established the Ridge Haven Conference and Retreat Center in 1978 as a year-round ministry outreach to individuals, families, churches, PCA and other ministry  organizations. (See our calendar.)  Whether you're on your own or in a group, we hope this can be your place for any reason or season. At Ridge Haven, you are surrounded by God's wondrous nature -- we are simply the caretakers. Spiritual rejuvenation is as important as physical relaxation and our goal is to provide the means for you to have the opportunity for both.No matter what season it is or the size of your group, we have a variety of comfortable and cozy facilities, or a serene camping area from which you can choose. All of our motel facilities offer double occupancy rooms, private baths, linens, heat and air conditioning. Many of the common areas have fireplaces. Our RV area has full hook-ups, electricity, water and sewage services.



Spiritually, Ridge Haven is a place to be still and meet with God. It's a place to be with others or make your own personal retreat. It's a place to learn about Him, worship Him and enjoy Him. Physically, it is a natural place for activities and rest, away from the intrusions of the world's demands. If you are wanting to host a conference, camp, or retreat, we can supply you with equipment, meeting rooms, meals, and more. If you need help in planning or locating leadership, including Bible teachers or speakers, we can help there as well. Our experience in hosting camps and conferences throughout the year for all ages and types of groups is a resource we make available to you so you can focus your attention and energy elsewhere during your stay.
