Retreats

The perfect place to unwind, unplug or reconnect with your purpose. Our serene location, comfortable accommodation and classroom facilities are ideal for most retreats.

The school offers several areas perfect for running retreat activities, both indoors and out.

Our facilities include classrooms, a large hall for big group sessions and more casual areas for relaxing, team building or socialising.

Outdoors we have a pool, a nordic grill cabin with a firepit, a playground, lawn games and plenty of space for outdoor activities.

Our accommodation can house a maximum of 30 people at a time, and our dining room can comfortably seat 40-50 people.

The rooms available are:

  • 2x chalets, each with a double bed
  • 2x cabins with 4 beds each
  • 1x cabin with 8 beds
  • 1x large bunk room with 10 beds

We are set up with audio visual capabilities suitable for most event formats, including wifi, audio/visual equipment and two separate rooms with projectors.

If you have specific needs do get in touch to discuss our facilities in detail.

The grounds are well equipped for most accessibility needs.

We have wheelchair ramps, accessible toilets and showers, and plenty of room to move around our dining room and common areas.

We take the safety of our guests very seriously.

While each group is responsible for themselves, we are well equipped with first aid kits, fire extinguishers and an evacuation plan. Get in touch for more details on safety at Greenpark School.

Testimonials from previous groups

Greenpark School was the perfect venue for our young adults retreat. We had 14 people and plenty of space for both connection and privacy. We loved the cozy indoor rooms and the beautiful outdoor areas, and the beds were lovely and comfortable! The fire pit was also a huge hit and we had a great time toasting marshmallows and chatting around the fire before bed. We will be back

– Hope church young adults.

Greenpark School grounds was the perfect place to have my son’s 4th birthday party. It was so well maintained, safe and provided lots of space to spread out and run around. All the amenities we needed for an outdoor picnic. We felt like we had our own private park. All the kids had a blast and I felt happy knowing they were safe to run around and we wouldn't be bothering other picnic goers. We will deff be using these grounds again in the future.
