Silver Birch Ranch's Ladies' Retreats are a great time of fun, fellowship, and growth. Every year in the early fall, ladies from all over the Midwest converge at Silver Birch Ranch. The weekend is filled with activities and teaching geared to meet ladies where they are at in life, and tackles challenges that they face. Large group meetings are only the start, as life-changing messages are driven home throughout the weekend.

Ladies' Retreat Speaker - Sue TomasikSue Tomasik is first of all a child of God, desiring to follow and serve Him as she has been called to be a wife to Tom, a mother to six children, grandmother to seven so far, and the Executive Director of The Crossing Pregnancy Support Service and Medical Clinic in Manitowoc, WI. Her life has often seemed like a three ring circus in which she is reminded by God that He is the Ringmaster. Sue’s life verse is 1 Peter 3:15 and she will vulnerably share her life stories of hope-filled rehabilitation. Her prayer is that God would refresh, restore, and renew you in the hope that will not disappoint. |

We have a tradition of preparing specialty breakfasts for you, in addition to the breakfast provided in the Dining Hall. This year we will offer the following:
Buckboard Breakfast - The buckboard wagon will take you down Sawyer Lake Road, into the Nicolet National Forest, and finally to Split Oak, our breakfast site. Here you will find hearty scrambled eggs, hash- browns, bacon, and pan-fried toast, prepared over an open fire by one of our wranglers.
Loggers’ Breakfast - Let us serve you as you start your morning out right. Premium blueberries carefully blended into fluffy pancakes are served with sausage, juice, and coffee at this wooded site near the water’s edge.
Retreaters can come on Thursday after 1 pm. Only lodging is available on Thursday. (No meals or program will be provided until dinner on Friday.)
