Located just around the corner & a quick walk from scenic Lake Whitehall, The Sanctuary at Woodville offers a number of outdoor recreational & ministry activities. Come use our kayaks, sitting by the water, or walking some or all of the nearly 7 miles of trails around the lake, we invite you to rest and relax, and discover or deepen your relationship with God in nature!
Paddle, Pray, and Explore – Kayaking Retreat
We’re excited to offer our kayaking retreat, for individuals and groups, designed to bring our community together in faith, reflection, and fun, all while enjoying the beauty of the nearby Lake Whitehall (just a quick walk from The Sanctuary at Woodville!)
Here’s how it works:
A half-day retreat experience for individuals or small groups to use our kayaks and enjoy some peaceful time on the water. This isn’t just about paddling — each experience will include thoughtful add-ons to help enrich your time, such as:
Directions: To get to Lake Whitehall from The Sanctuary, walk right on Route 135 toward the yellow house next door and take a right on Exchange Street. Walk to the end of the short street and you've reached the lake! You can launch your kayak to the right of the dam, and leave the carts on the shore as you boat!
