|
| On the retreat's 17 acres there are recreational amenities, including a fishing pond, horseback riding, basketball, tennis, hiking, bicycling, paintball, and water sports at nearby lakes. |
| Bison Ranch Retreat Center is located in the White Mountain resort area between Payson and Show Low, Arizona. This area is one of the most appealing vacation destinations in the Southwest, with many year-round recreational opportunities and points of scenic interest. Immediately south of the property is the Mogollon Rim, which offers exceptional views and numerous lakes, ideal for boating, fishing and other water sports. |
| Spiritual retreats don't take place just in the log homes. Guests of the Bison Ranch Retreat Center share the facilities of Bison Ranch, which include meeting rooms, a 5,600 square-foot lodge, and a meeting pavilion that seats 300. The best seats in the house just may be outside, though: there are 800,000 acres of nearby forest land if you need to retreat to nature. |
"The experience at Bison Ranch was life changing and life giving for our staff and key lay leaders. We were so overwhelmed with the quality of the log homes and facilities that we have booked five more retreats and student camps at Bison Ranch in 2005! For our church, there is no better retreat, camp, and conference option than Bison Ranch Retreat Center. "

The facilities of Redemptorist Renewal Center are available for retreats, meetings and workshops for groups of people whose main emphasis is directly related to spiritual growth and development. Although the Redemptorist Renewal Center is a Catholic retreat center we welcome all denominations that seek to nourish and to sustain the growth of their members. A mutual respect for all religious traditions is an essential element of our statement of mission and belief.
The facilities that are available for your use include 65 private rooms with bath, including handicapped suites, suites that are typically reserved for retreat leaders/ presenters, each of which include a sitting room along with their bedroom and bath, garden courtyard rooms which are ideal for small group leadership retreats, and six hermitages for those who desire sustained silence and solitude. A dining room with comfortable seating for a maximum of 150 people; seven meeting rooms capable of accommodating 6-150 people; tables, chairs, white boards, video equipment, PowerPoint projector and other tools necessary for a well ordered retreat/conference/meeting are available upon request.
The renewal center chapel has seating for 150 participants and may be used only for liturgical services and for private prayer and meditation--we do not permit our worship space to be used for any other purpose, nor do we permit any changes to be made that would alter the particular sacred space that is particular to our own worship.
