★UshkaNever send your kids here! Mine did nothing but complain on and on about their boredom when they got back, not to mention the no-phone rule; an obvious danger in and of itself.
★★★★★Jon PotterLast weekend we had our Iron Sharpens Iron Men's Retreat. The Black Hills Retreat Center did a phenomenal job serving our group. Our men enjoyed archery, the climbing wall, and sailing across the zip line. The meals were delicious, and the service was exceptional! I highly recommend sending your group to this camp that is nestled in the beautiful Black Hills!
★★★★★Drew BeckerThe Black Hills Retreat Center is in the heart of The Black Hills surrounded by beauty! The Directors (Joe & Mallorie) along with their staff are top notch people who obviously enjoy working hard and serving others. It's a very peaceful place and I am looking forward to going back soon!
★★★★★Principal ILSOur school group stayed in a lodge and it fit 24 students and adults comfortably. Beautiful scenery, bonfires, nature, etc. Just what we wanted and needed. Would stay there again. Reasonably priced as well!
★★★★★Clark AudissOur family stayed at Black Hills Retreat Center three days in July and wow! This has to be the Black Hills best kept secret. It’s a wonderful facility in a seclusive, gorgeous area of the black hills. Can’t wait to stay again!
