Download Brochure

Location: Wesley Woods Camp & Retreat Center, 10896 Nixon St., Indianola

Theme: The Dynamic Process of Growth – the more we do, the more we learn

We envision a school in which all of our activities lend themselves to the following outcome: Participants will leave feeling connected to each other and the Plan of God, enthusiastic about what they can do in their daily lives, and have new tools and strategies for becoming more effective teachers in their home communities, wherever they reside. Classes will be centered around the curriculum and skills of the Ruhi courses: devotional meetings, home visits, children’s classes, and Anna’s presentation of the Faith.

Special Guests: Regional Bahá'í Council for the Central States members Becky Smith, Emily Ternes and Behrad Majidi

Recreation includes swimming, canoeing, hiking, volleyball, basketball, soccer, horseback riding (extra fee) and crafts. Also, campfire, drum circle and Eclectic Café.

Accommodations: Modern or rustic cabins, tent camping and RV hook-ups.

Price for an adult in a modern cabin with all meals is $140. See our website for other packages.

Registration due by June 6th
