Even if you never leave ECCO\u2019s premises, you\u2019ll find plenty to do. Our grounds offer many places to reflect, work on a devotional or catch a glimpse of the local wildlife. We even have some new outdoor areas where you\u2019ll be able to work off some excess energy. Indoor activities include a ping-pong table, pool table, puzzles, or games. You may also choose to enjoy a book from The Rivera Library located in Sumner Walters Chapel. Campfire: Toast marshmallows, make s’mores, sing, talk, meditate or enjoy that special time of close friendship.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve named it the 4th Green as historically it was the 4th green of the Sky Ranch Golf Course. Out of sight and earshot of the core of the conference center\u2014but only a short walk away\u2015the 4th Green offers a basketball court, grass volleyball field, multi-use playing fields and a 9-hole disc golf course. Recreation equipment can be checked out from the office. Horseshoe pits, ladder ball and cornhole areas are located right outside of Lyles Hall.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t ECCO\u2019s nature trails are varying levels, mostly dirt trails that extend over 5 miles for an escape from all things bustling. It\u2019s a great way to escape into your own private space for a few minutes… or a few hours, whatever you have available. These single-track trails travel through peculiar \u201cweeds,\u201d edible plants, foggy meadows and ancient oaks pocked with corn holes bored by creative woodpeckers. Visit \u201cThe Frog Pond\u201d via the “Nature Trail”, saunter over to the “Pounding Rocks” area of Lewis Creek or challenge yourself to an uphill wooded adventure to the upper waterfall. Chances are you might even have the opportunity to meet some of our resident creatures as you wind along its path. Wildflower & Birding Search checklists are made available at the kiosk in Lyles Hall, for a PDF version please click below.<\/p>\nStations Of The Cross<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
