I recently went on a christian retreat at Americas Keswick. The speakers were amazing especially Pastor Lloyd Pulley and his lovely and wise wife Karen. The food was delicious 😋. The accommodations were OK very simple I was in Victory... hall.I met some of the men from the colony they all speak of having a wonderful recovery. Praise God!. The grounds are spectacular!!!I only had 1 negative experience. There is a lifeguard there by the name of Jason who was extremely rude and disrespectful not only to me but to a sweet elderly man. I spoke to that man who has been going there for years and said Jason is that way to a alot of the people. I was surprised to find out Keswick would hire such a person. When I went to go into the main building , I was confronted by Ruth, who works there, before she heard my side of the story she had a bad and condemning attitude and spoke down to me. After I explained what happened, she apologized. You would think the staff would be vetted well before being hired, especially at a Christian facility that has been around for close to 130 years.I have forgiven both individuals in my prayers, but I have to say it was very hurtful and made me cry. That said. I would still recommend Keswick as you will be blessed by the speakers and the many beautiful Christians that attend the meeting. I especially was moved by the testimonies of the men from the colony. Don't miss those devotionals at 7 am.read more

I stayed in the older facility so I was not comfortable with my arrangements. However, the service received in effort to make things better and more pleasant was exceptional! My family and I enjoyed the many activities and services available to... us, even though the sessions for toddlers was merely babysitting.This center would be great for a family reunion, Looking forward to coming again.read more

I attend the Hymn Sing every month. Today was an inspirational patriotic program. It was amazing to sing songs of our country with 500 other people!! Keswick never disappoints, and many men and women have overcome addictions through the ministries... of the Colony and Barbara's Place.read more
