Beloved Shared Space
A welcoming lakeside campus where history, community, and possibility come together.
For generations, DeKoven Center has been a place where paths cross and connections grow. From retreats and weddings to community gatherings, spiritual reflection, and historical research, our campus welcomes people of all backgrounds to experience its beauty, history, and hospitality.
Some come for an afternoon, others for a weekend or a week of retreat. Many return year after year, drawn back to the connections, memories, and experiences made on these sacred grounds.
However you arrive, there is a place for you at DeKoven.
Gather, Learn, and Grow Together
Retreats, conferences, meetings, and workshops find room to flourish with gathering spaces, overnight accommodations, meals, and peaceful surroundings.
Celebrate Life’s Meaningful Moments
Weddings, reunions, celebrations, and special gatherings find a memorable home among historic halls, gardens, chapels, and lakeside grounds.
Come Find a Quiet Corner
Wander the quadrangle, walk the labyrinth, sit beneath the trees, or spend a quiet moment in St. John’s Chapel. Across the DeKoven campus, there is a tranquil space for everyone—a place to slow down, breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
Preserving History Where History Was Made
From Racine College and James DeKoven to generations of Episcopal religious life, the Archives preserves stories that reach far beyond campus.
A Place Where Community Gathers
Concerts, arts and educational programs, seasonal celebrations, partnerships, and gatherings large and small bring people back to DeKoven again and again. With each return, connections deepen, friendships grow, and those who first came as visitors become part of the DeKoven family.
Rooted in History, Open to All
DeKoven’s Episcopal heritage lives on through a rich tradition of hospitality, prayer, spiritual growth, and reflection.
