Faith-Based Retreats for Bereaved Parents North Dakota

Our North Dakota While We’re Waiting Weekends are held at Hope Forest, a retreat center designed to create a peaceful, restful environment for those in need of hope. It is nestled in the trees from the Denbigh Forest in north central North Dakota. This property features short walking trails through the trees, a fire pit area to gather at, a pretty pond to sit by, and a front porch where you can relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.

The property is adjacent to the Denbigh Forest where there are lovely trails to walk, wildlife can be spotted, and beautiful North Dakota sunsets can be taken in with a drive to a walk-up coffee shop right on the corner before entering the forest. It is located conveniently right on US Highway 2 and just 30 minutes out of the City of Minot and the Minot International Airport. It is just 126 miles to Bismarck, 169 miles to Grand Forks, 186 miles to Montana, and only an hour to Manitoba, Canada.

Lodging for Friday and Saturday nights and all meals Friday night through Sunday morning are provided, and there is no cost to attend this event.

Some lodging will be available at Hope Forest, and overflow lodging will be provided at nearby Mt. Carmel Camp or Dakota Rose Bed and Breakfast in Minot. All lodging areas will have private bathrooms and space to yourself to relax.

This event is open to both single parents and married couples. Please refer to our Purity Policy , found under the “About Us” tab.
