Join us for five days of outstanding golfing on some of Michigan's best courses as we celebrate the annual Golf & the Gospel retreat. We do all the work: book the tee times, serve up fabulous meals, create an engaging community, and even give out prizes. All you have to do is bring your clubs and have a great time!
Each evening after golf, shopping or afternoon nap taking, we will . . ..
Golfers are responsible for greens fees, and may golf the selected course of the day, a different course, or not golf at all. Non-golfing guests are welcome to read their favorite book on the beach, see lots of local points of interest (including great shopping), or lounge around Camp. Sack lunches are available to all guests.
The Dean for the Week - Rev. Dave Marth
Dr. Luke - Was He Or Was He Not A Closet Golfer?
In addition to fellowshipping with a star-studded field of golfers, wine tasters, beach bums and antique collectors for a fun week at RKD, Rev. Marth will present five evenings of Bible Study on the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts entitled “Dr. Luke – Was He or Was He Not a Closet Golfer?” (Luke 18:1)
Rev. Marth (St. Louis MO) has been the senior pastor of Historic Trinity Lutheran Church since 1993. He and his wife Mary are the proud parents of three children and seven grandchildren. This is his ninth gig at Camp Arcadia. He promises to keep coming until he shoots in the low 80s at Arcadia Bluffs.
This specialty vacation for adult golfers is designed for those people looking for relaxation, exploration, and enjoyable golf combined with unique Christian fellowship. Guests enjoy delicious food served in our charming Inn dining room, comfortable accommodations in our 80 year old Inn or five guest cottages, and some of the country’s finest golfing.
After a hearty breakfast, guests pick up a box lunch and play a round on the selected course of the day, returning to camp about 3 p.m. Early evening snacks and conversation on the patio are followed by dinner and the evening program of Bible study led by the dean, himself an avid golfer. The day’s activities end with plenty of time and fellowship in the camp store, the “Trading Post,” which has ice cream treats and popcorn.
Camp Arcadia is located on Lake Michigan 50 miles southwest of Traverse City (about two hours north of Holland). There are abundant recreational opportunities for the non-golfing spouses and guests or for a “day off”.
