The Chalet

The MARK Centre Chalet is a peaceful space dedicated to slowing down and listening to God.

The chalet has eight guest rooms, the Rooftop Chapel, and the Great Room - a meeting space for groups. The chalet can be booked for group day-retreats, individual day-retreats, or overnight retreats for individuals, couples, and groups of up to 18 adults in beds.

We want a retreat to be possible for you. If cost presents a challenge please let us know in your booking request.

Grounds

Step outside your door to experience the beauty of the grounds here at our chalet. There are many peaceful places to reflect and enjoy God through nature. On the property itself, there are several seating areas and benches scattered throughout.  A walking labyrinth has been built for a peaceful walk of trust.

Our chalet is conveniently located on the main bus route for the City of Abbotsford. This route also goes to the City of Mission. Coffee shops and grocery stores are within walking distance, as is the beautiful park of Fishtrap Creek. Find more information on each within the Guest Information book located in your room.

Fishtrap Creek

This incredible park is just a few minutes walk from the chalet. Head down the hill from Old Yale Road and you’ll discover the entrance to this nature trail. Quiet and peaceful, this nature haven perfectly complements your retreat of rest and reflection. The stillness of the water, the various benches scattered about, the playfulness of birds and other wildlife in the region enhance your rest in your Creator.

The Discovery Trail of Abbotsford, an extensive trail that cuts across the city of Abbotsford, connects into Fishtrap. You may also wish to spend some time exploring this trail.
