DeBenneville Pines is open year-round to host inspiring and unforgettable programs in liberal religion, nature, music, women's and men's spirituality, as well as popular camp-style experiences for children, youth, young adults, adults, families, and elders.

Gathering Hymn
My life flows on in endless song
Above earth's lamentation.

That hails a new creation.

I hear the music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
