Environmental and Retreat Center
| Koinonia Environmental and
Retreat Center, which is owned and operated by Manchester College, is located
approximately 12 miles north of North Manchester or just south of Pierceton in Kosciusko County, Indiana.
Measuring around 100 acres, Koinonia is ecologically diverse, consisting
of hardwood and pine forests, a five acre kettle lake surrounded by a large wetland complex with a
walkway and observation decks, and a restored
prairie, which we burned on April 6, 2005.
Look at our new handicapped walk bridge. Thank you Paragon Medical and CVS Pharmacy for your support of this project. Also, a big thanks to Justin Kranzman and the rest of the scout troop that put the bridge together! It looks great. |
