As the mountains turn lush and green and the rivers sparkle under the summer sun, June and July become some of the most exciting and meaningful months here at the Lodestar Mountain Inn. Nestled in the heart of beautiful Smoke Hole Canyon, the mountain comes alive with fellowship, adventure, worship, and retreat experiences that bring guests from all over the region together.
This summer, we are especially excited to welcome several incredible gatherings that make these months so special.
Compass Bible Camps
Compass Bible Camps fill the canyon with energy, laughter, worship, and spiritual growth. Students and leaders spend unforgettable days exploring God’s creation, building friendships, and deepening their faith in the peaceful beauty of the mountains. The excitement around camp season is contagious, and we love seeing young people experience life-changing moments in Smoke Hole Canyon. Are you “battle ready?”
Honey Harvest Retreat
The Honey Harvest Getaway Weekend is certain to be a cherished summer memory! Slow down, reconnect, and experience the simple richness of mountain life. From learning about local honey and sustainable harvesting to enjoying fellowship and quiet moments surrounded by nature, this retreat offers a refreshing escape from the busyness of everyday life.
Ministry Leaders Retreat
July also brings our Ministry Leaders Retreat — a time of encouragement, renewal, and connection for pastors, ministry teams, and Christian leaders. Surrounded by the canyon’s peaceful beauty, leaders have space to rest, pray, collaborate, and be refreshed for the work ahead. It is always inspiring to see meaningful conversations and lifelong friendships grow during these gatherings.
At the Lodestar Mountain Inn, summer is more than a season — it is a time of community, faith, adventure, and renewal. Whether you are attending one of our retreats or simply looking for a peaceful mountain getaway, we invite you to experience the beauty and spirit of Smoke Hole Canyon during these unforgettable summer months.
We look forward to welcoming you to the mountains soon.
