Partnering Facilities

We partner with venues that offer adventure and quiet beauty in the woods.

Most of our partnering facilities are more rustic, but we do offer a couple retreats that are more plush. Each retreat varies in group size, food, bed type, activity options, price, and more.

Deep Portage Learning Center

Hackensack, MN 

Located in the heart of lake country.  A place to reset and be inspired.  One of our favorite parts about Deep Portage is the mission and eco-friendly focus. "It is a place where community, education, and the environment come together."  This setting is ideal to connect, explore, and relax through yoga, meditation, journaling, and outdoor adventure. Read more about the mission, history, programming, and renewable energy on their website. Better yet - come see this amazing place for yourself!
