Directions to Registration and Check-In

Rolling Ridge Retreat House
691 Christ Church Rd,
Harpers Ferry, WV 25425

Follow GPS until you reach Mission Road.  Mission Road T’s into Route 115. 

1.     Depending on the direction you are travelling, you will either turn left or turn right onto it.  Follow Mission Road for 6.3 miles.    Mission Road is a twisty, turny rollercoaster ride that begins with  center and side lines and has one stop sign in the small community of Shannondale.  It passes one store, a small grocery on the left.  Drive continues to dip and wind in series of S curves.  The center lines end at Rolling Ridge entrance on the left, as the road descends.  There is a rustic wooden sign saying Rolling Ridge at the top in yellow letters. There are mailboxes on other side of road.

2.     Turn left here onto the gravel/dirt road, opposite the mailboxes.   This dirt/gravel road twists and turns and goes uphill.  There is one crossroad—large dumpster and gate to Camp Opequon on left, sign for Staff Community straight ahead and Retreat House to right.

3.     Turn right following Retreat House sign.  Stay on this road a short distance to rough intersection with  Christ Church Road.  See the sign to the Retreat House pointing left.

4.     Turn left.  You are now on a long driveway that will end in front of the Retreat House.  Stay more or less straight on this.  Do not turn right onto Friends Way.

5.     Arrived! You may temporarily park in front of the Retreat House to unload your things and then move your car to the parking area.

 

Directions to Still Point Mountain Retreat

Still Point Mountain Retreat
1681 Patriots Way
Harpers Ferry, WV 25425

After check in and registration, the initiates will hike about one mile to the Still Point Mountain Retreat.  Initiates will be hiking a white blazed trail to the camp and staff will truck initiates’ camping gear to the wilderness camp.

For those driving, follow the same directions to the registration site, EXCEPT at #3 where you are at the intersection with Christ Church Road turn RIGHT down Christ Church Road.

1.     Turn right on Christ Church Road.  This bumpy narrow road goes slightly downhill.  The road widens slightly, then passes two  houses, small A-frame to left and large cottage with detached brick garage to right, just before Road Ts at Patriot’s Way. There is no street sign marking Patriot’s Way. Christ Church Road is a narrow dirt road heading downhill toward the Shenandoah River.

2.     Turn left on Patriot’s Way.  Road parallels the river, descends, ascends & shortly comes to a farm-type gate.  Go through the gate.

3.     Follow this road through the gate and continue straight until road appears to end in front of a small,  light colored  house.  Turn left.  Drive up a steep hill.  Road will wind around to the right.  Road then straightens and leads through a wooded area to Still Point house on right.  Welcome.
