    Venue Spotlight: Trout Lodge in Potosi, Missouri

    Set in the Missouri Ozark Hills just 90 minutes from St. Louis, YMCA Trout Lodge offers a restorative setting designed to foster connection, reflection, and renewal. Surrounded by nature and overlooking the scenic 360-acre Sunnen Lake, it’s the perfect environment to step away from the noise of everyday life, breathe deeply, and tune into what matters most with clarity, calm, and intention.

  • A hotel room with two beds having dark gray bedding, a nightstand between them, and a balcony with a view of trees and water outside. There is a desk with a lamp and a chair.

    Comfortable Lodging & Casual Dining

    Retreat participants will stay in lodge-style guest rooms located in the heart of the property. Each room includes two queen beds, a private bathroom, a desk, and a balcony or patio with beautiful lake views. These cozy accommodations offer the simplicity of a rustic getaway with the comforts of hotel-style amenities. Midwestern comfort food, served buffet style in the public dining hall, is included with your stay.

  • A sunlit forest path surrounded by trees with colorful autumn leaves.

    Where Nature Nurtures Growth

    From early morning reflections to evening conversations by the fire, the setting at Trout Lodge enhances every part of the retreat experience. Enjoy peaceful lakeside views, miles of wooded hiking trails, and an optional ropes course that invites you to take on a new challenge. Whether you're journaling by the water or taking a walk through the woods, the environment naturally supports reflection, renewal, and growth.

A Weekend of Connection, Renewal & Progress

Here’s a glimpse of our weekend together. Each day is carefully structured with a variety of immersive, facilitated sessions designed to spark growth, clarity, and meaningful progress. It’s a thoughtfully paced, workshop-style experience filled with opportunities to reflect, connect, move, and stretch yourself in powerful new ways.

Scheduled breaks and shared meals provide time to recharge and connect with others, while your comprehensive, custom-designed Resilience for Progress workbook will help you track insights, journal thoughts, and shape actions to carry you forward.
