Testimonials

Excellent
Stephen Richmond
I went on a retreat with other men of my church, just like last year. Nice venue. Great speaker. Lots of stuff to do. Great surroundings, it's in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, where my paternal grandfather came from.
Jonathan Gibson
Fantastic ministry. The conference center hosts great events. The rooms are nice, the dining experience is good, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are incredible, and the property is extensive with plenty to do for all ages, no matter the season.
Shane Ross
We stayed here for a few days to get some much-needed time away. This is a great place for an individual retreat, couples, or even whole groups! The room was warm, clean, and bright. The views of the lake as autumn leaves fell and ducks swam was beautiful as we ate breakfast. The grounds and trails provided many places to stop, pray, and reflect. The common area had puzzles, games, and books for anyone to use. There were multiple places to sit, relax, and either enjoy some conversation or just be alone. Adjacent to the common area there is a small room with vending machines providing snacks, sodas, coffee, and tea. The breakfast in the dining area was excellent! The only complaint we have is that it will feel like too long before we can return again!
Ron Pagliarulo
An amazing Christian conference center. Great food. Great rooms. Great recreation and two beautiful lakes
Frank Lucenti
Such a beautiful God filled retreat facility
Eloina Diaz
Our women’s group has been going to America’s Keswick for over 20 years. 10 years ago we started a second retreat so now we go twice a year. We are so grateful to be able to Worship and hear the Word in such a lovely place “Where God speaks to the hearts” But most of all we are grateful for all the help and prayers we have received through the years from everyone at AK especially from Lynn Wilson. Looking forward to our continued relationship blessings to all. I Highly recommend AK

We hold our rooms for four weeks, giving time for the group leader to receive and return the group contract and deposit. All contracts and deposits not returned within the four-week timeframe are considered canceled, null, and void. After a signed contract is returned with a deposit, it is considered binding.

Without both a signed contract and deposit, America’s Keswick will not hold space for a group. Six months prior to your event, your contract is finalized. After this, you will be held to the financial agreement stated in your contract.

A guest group can cancel or change their contract at any point up to six months prior to the contracted event. However, the group agrees to forfeit their deposit in doing so.

After the six-month date, cancellation or reduction of a contract is possible ONLY IF AMERICA’S KESWICK IS ABLE TO ARRANGE A REPLACEMENT GROUP GENERATING COMPARABLE INCOME. If a replacement group is arranged, then any deposits will be forfeited, and no other charges will be incurred. If no replacement group is found, the group is under obligation to pay 90% of the contracted amount.
