Broom Tree seeks to support all people of faith as they experience an awakening to God’s continual call to conversion and as they deepen their response to it.  Broom Tree is also available to nonprofit and for-profit organizations for their strategic development.

Much nicer than we expected.  Stations, Mass at the Church, the cabin, pool, fire pit, sports area, boating, fishing on the lake.  What a fun place to be!  Making memories forever.  The cabins were clean, the grounds well kept.  Everything was within walking distance.  We would recommend this place to other families.
