The Families of the Fallen Retreats at Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch are offered to the Family of Service Members who died while serving on active duty in the National Guard or Reserves at the time of their death. Every loss and all causes of death are represented, and the Family is supported in their journey with three days of peer community and the loving care of the Ironwood Staff. Experience the retreat setting of the Miracle Lodge, the beauty of the outdoors, being with others who 'get it' and a gentle agenda that will restore your spirit. 

Family retreats are faith-based weekends at the Miracle Lodge to provide encouragement, hope, and inspiration to active military, veterans and their families. The retreat is free for all attending. All funding is provided by donations from businesses, organizations, and individuals. Since 2008, we served about 700 families. Each year gives us the opportunity to serve those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and for keeping us "One Nation Under God". 

The marriage retreat is a time for husbands and wives to have time together to focus on their marriage with a balance of faith-based marriage teachings and rest and relaxation.  Some time is spent also enjoying community with other military couples who understand the stress of family military life.  A nice candlelight meal is served on Saturday night.  

An inspiring weekend to give hope, encouragement, and the promise of a bright future. Activities include a "Wild Turkey Hunt" sponsored by the National Wildlife Turkey Foundation. This retreat is for people who have become disabled as a result of their sacrificial service to our country.
