Yosemite Summit is five day personal sabbatical for Men in Ministry located in the heart of one of the most spectacular National Parks in America.

Get away from the office, the church, the phones, the Internet, and the busyness of life and ministry and re-coop with some fellow ministers hiking, worshiping, and enjoying genuinely refreshing fellowship surrounded by vistas that only God could create.

“Ministry has a way of draining those who are pouring into others. If you are a pastor or are in full time ministry and are in need of a break for refreshment, renewal or re-creation, prayerfully consider joining me on this sabbatical retreat. Set aside ministry and focus on your walk with God in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Learn more at the links below. Iām praying for God to bring together just the right men for a life changing encounter with God in a place where it is easy to feel His presence.” – Karl
This retreat will be a structured time of renewal that will provide both group and personal time of reflection, prayer, reading, and worship in a setting where God can truly be heard and experienced. Day hikes to some of the most stunning vistas in the world and evenings of rest and relaxation.
Yosemite Summit is a personal ministry of Karl Bastian, the president of Kidology.org, which exists to equip and encourage those who minister to children. Your host invites you to allow this retreat to be a time and place where you can meet with God removed from the distractions and pressures of daily ministry life. Karl will personally guide you to the hidden treasures of Yosemite that most tourists miss.
