Recreation


Trinity Pines and the surrounding area offer a variety of recreational activities.  To view a complete list of the recreational options available on the conference grounds visit the Trinity Pines Conference Center website.

You are welcome to take advantage of these opportunities any time other than meeting times.  We especially want to encourage you to join with others on Saturday afternoon during the free time.  It's a great way to get to know your colleagues and their families.  Make some memories.  You'll come back with a great story to share at dinner that evening!
