Welcome
News updated as of 2/3/2010 - Check it out!With the threat of urbanization of our land, the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ) that support Gwinwood stand together to preserve this small part of creation. It is our hope that everyone who uses this facility will nourish their souls, hearts, minds and bodies while discovering God's call in a threat free environment.
Hidden within the urbanized area of Lacey, Washington, near Olympia, lies Gwinwood -- a 29 acre retreat site that has
been preserved in its natural state through stewardship and teaching about the natural world. Gwinwood is located on
Hicks Lake. The property includes 650 feet of developed waterfront and over 700 feet of natural waterfront, including
significant shoreline along the Hicks Lake wetland. The park-like setting includes about 18 acres of forested land with
first-generation, second-growth timber, 4 acres of open meadow lands and 7 acres of undisturbed wetlands. The property
supports a variety of native plant and animal species with great care taken to ensure their survival. The buildings on
the site were built and are maintained to fit the context of the environment.
