Things to Do
You shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. – Isaiah 55:12
Faith, Fellowship, and Fun in God’s Creation
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Delaware River and wooded hills, Eddy Farm offers a wide variety of outdoor activities for spiritual refreshment, community bonding, and pure enjoyment.
River Baptism at Eddy Farm – Returning to Still Waters
At Eddy Farm, the flowing waters of the Delaware River offer more than a picturesque backdrop—they become a sacred space where lives are renewed and faith is declared. Many have stepped into the gentle current to be baptized, surrounded by the stillness of nature and the presence of God. The very name “Eddy Farm” comes from the unique motion of the river here, where water flows swiftly in one direction, gently in another, and stands still in the center. It’s a picture of life: pulled, pressed, hurried—until God calls us to pause, to turn, and to enter still waters. In that stillness, baptism becomes more than a ritual; it is a return, a surrender, a beginning. Whether you come to be baptized, to witness, or simply to be still, the river at Eddy Farm invites you to listen again for God’s voice and follow where He leads.
Bonfire Gatherings – Light, Fellowship, and Worship Under the Stars
As night settles over Eddy Farm, the bonfire comes alive—its flames dancing under open skies, drawing hearts together in warmth and worship. Around the fire, something sacred happens. Voices rise in song, testimonies are shared, prayers flow freely, and laughter mingles with tears. It’s a space where strangers become family, walls come down, and the Spirit moves gently but powerfully. For youth groups, families, and retreat guests, this circle often becomes the most unforgettable moment of the entire stay—a time of unity, surrender, and deep encounter with God. Come as you are, with your song, your story, your prayer—and leave carrying the warmth of His presence within you.

Scenic Hiking – Walk with God in Creation
Nestled between forest and river, Eddy Farm’s 86 acres offer more than scenic beauty—they provide a sacred invitation to walk, breathe, and be still. Winding trails lead through whispering trees, open meadows, and gentle hills, creating a natural sanctuary for prayer walks, silent meditation, and spiritual retreat. With each step, guests are drawn into a more profound awareness of God’s presence, where every breeze speaks peace, every birdsong becomes a hymn, and every beam of sunlight feels like grace. Whether walking alone or with others, hiking at Eddy Farm becomes a journey of communion with the Creator, where stillness opens the heart, and the soul hears.
Outdoor Sketching – Seeing with the Heart, Creating with the Spirit
At the heart of Eddy Farm’s Arts Center is the belief that beauty is meant to be received, reflected, and responded to. Through outdoor sketching and plein air painting sessions, guests are invited to enter the landscape with open eyes and a ready hand, whether as seasoned artists or first-time explorers. These guided experiences are less about perfecting technique and more about slowing down, seeing deeply, and awakening to the quiet presence of God in nature. A line becomes a whisper of wonder, a brushstroke a gesture of praise. Here, art is not just expression—it is communion. Creation becomes a dialogue between the soul and the Creator.
