We said we needed some R&R and that is just what we did at the New Tribes Wayumi retreat center.
Ace's Dad's side of the family comes from Lancaster, PA. and next door to Lancaster is Jersey Shore. We have heard soooo much about Jersey Shore from all our instructors and the the older staff with NTM they all have so many fond memories of their days in training there. This is where NTMA started too. So since it was so close to family and our desire to visit history we decided to see the place.
Did I mention to you that Jersey Shore NTM training moved to Missouri? NTM was going to sell the property in PA. but someone game up with a really great idea and Ace and I agree. Its called Wayumi and its a retreat center for your church, your youth group, your Sunday School class, Your home group, Bible study group, Home school group you name it. They just need a minimum of 25 participants.
The room we stayed in.
This was the main living room with small couch, table & chairs, and two bunk beds. This room had three bedrooms off from it each having a dresser, chair, and bunk bed.
Bathrooms were down the hall.

Having some relaxing evening fun.
We took a hike up to Jungle Camp.
Everyone trying out a hammock up in Jungle Camp.
Some of our findings up in Jungle Camp
A birds nest in the ladies bathroom.
Was wondering which of our colleagues carved this back in the day.
Now for a nature walk, the family saw a bear but I wasn't with them so no pictures.
There was a group of teens there for a retreat and we got to see them in action. Here they are getting the international airport experience.
Ace and I had so much fun just watching them that we wanted to participate too. This place is not just for those wanting to be missionaries but for those who support missions too.
