WHERE ?

Cacapon Resort State Park, WV
    N  estled in the shadows of Cacapon (pronounced ka-KAY-pon) Mountain — tallest mountain in the eastern portion of West Virginia, Cacapon Resort State Park offers over 6000 acres of breath-taking, awe-inspiring countryside with over 20 miles of hiking trails, while providing top visitor service in a first-class lodge.   The mountain divides the landscape, with the Park on the eastern slope and the Cacapon River winding along the base of the western slope With available activities such as hiking, horseback riding, trap shooting, fishing, swimming, boating and golfing, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the magnificent outdoors.   Also nearby are the mineral baths and spas at Berkeley Springs, shopping at Hagerstown Outlet Mall, Martinsburg Mall and the delightful quirky shops in Shepherdstown.
   Cacapon Lodge is situated on the east side of the mountain overlooking the wide expanse of golf course green.   This 48-room facility offers a relaxed setting complete with lounge with a TV, board games, fireplace, and cozy furniture creating a cozy area for cool autumn and winter evenings. Downstairs a recreation room provides hours of entertainment with various games.
Each room is air conditioned with a color television, phone and private bath.

   

WHAT ?
   A mid these acres and acres of beautiful and bountiful lushness of life, we will immerse ourselves in the Sacred Kingdom — Nature.   Using its energy to guide and transport us, we will re-discover our connection with the earth and its living inhabitants.   We will acknowledge the differing levels of consciousness as we commune with them.   We will open to its healing call to balance.   We will ask it to give us the answers we seek.   We will invite it to lead us to a discovery of the deeper Divine reality behind all life.
