Beloved Shared Space
A historic lakeside campus where people gather, learn, celebrate, pray, create, rest, and reflect.
For generations, DeKoven Center has been a beloved shared space where paths cross—neighbors and visitors, retreatants and researchers, worshippers and wedding guests, artists and students, families and friends.
Some come for a weekend. Some come for an afternoon. Others come for week-long retreats. Many return year after year. Across our historic lakeside campus, people find opportunities to gather, learn, celebrate, create, reflect, and reconnect on sacred ground.
However you arrive, there is a place for you at DeKoven.
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.
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.
Rooted in History, Open to All
DeKoven’s Episcopal heritage lives on through a rich tradition of hospitality, prayer, spiritual growth, and reflection.
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.
