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! 

Please look over this Faculty Retreat Saturday Afternoon Activities for more activity details and opportunities.

Saturday Afternoon at the Movies

For those desiring a more relaxing “indoor” afternoon, you may join us for an unsupervised family movie in the Conference Center at 1:00 and a second movie with a more juvenile theme at 3:00 upstairs in the children's area.  We will provide popcorn and snacks.
