Scholarships 

The Fall Retreat is an important and much-loved part of Grace Downtown’s family life, so we’d like as many people as possible to be able to attend. 

If paying the full registration fee presents a significant financial challenge for you, we ask you to consider contributing at least 50% per attendee. To do so, in the payment section below, you may use the Discount Code: HALF

If additional financial support is needed beyond 50% in the payment section below, you may use the Discount Code: FOLLOWUP. You won’t be required to pay at this time, and a staff member will reach out to you. Register here.

Directions to Retreat (GPS works too!)
Capon Springs & Farms

3818 Capon Springs Rd, High View, WV 26808 

Recommended route (slightly longer, but avoids unpaved roads):  To get to Capon Springs by car, follow I-66 until it ends at I-81. Take I-81 South to the 2nd Strasburg exit, #296. Turn right on Rt. 55 West and follow 19 miles toward to Wardensville. Turn right on Rt. 259 North and continue for 6 miles to Capon Lake. Turn right on Rt. 16, Capon Springs Rd, crossing bridge, and continue for 4 miles to Capon Springs. (Adds approximately 15 minutes to trip.)

Alternate route (shorter, but includes a winding, unpaved road): To get to Capon Springs by car, follow I-66 until it ends at I-81. Take I-81 South to the 2nd Strasburg exit, #296. Turn right on Rt. 55 West and follow 12 miles to road on right marked Capon Springs Grade (Rt. 609). (Rt. 609 is exactly 2 miles after crossing bridge at Duck Run.) Follow this dirt road for 3½ miles to Capon Springs. Allow approximately 2 hrs. Driver’s note: Capon Springs Grade (Rt. 609) begins in VA. If you cross the WV state line while still on Rt. 55, you have gone too far.
