Check-in begins at 3:00 PM. Our Arrive and Unwind Open House begins at 3:30, dinner starts at 6:00 PM and our first retreat session will start at 7:00 PM. All times are Eastern Standard Time.

Our final retreat session ends Friday at noon.

The retreat is a full immersion experience, and the primary purpose is for you to unplug completely to connect with God. We love family, but this is not family time. There are no accommodations for childcare.

Bring your authentic self and your Bible. Pack casual and comfortable clothes. The mountains in the summer are warm during the day but can get a tad cool at night. If you like to hike, bring clothes and shoes for hiking.

The Cove does not allow animals on the property.

We recommend preparing for the Treasured Tribe Retreat in two ways: pray and prepare to pull away from life’s demands. The retreat is designed for a time of discovery by letting go of life’s noisy pressures so you can hear what God has to say to you. Praying and practically taking measures, such as turning off your phone during the retreat, will significantly enhance your experience.

Make reservations to fly into the Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), located twenty minutes from the Cove.

Treasured Ministries does not provide transportation to and from the airport. Retreat participants are responsible for finding transportation. Asheville Taxi Co. is a great option; you can contact them directly at 1 (828) 333-1976 or visit their website at https://www.avltaxi.com/. There are plenty of transportation options from the airport, including taxis and Uber.
