Residential Retreats

Less than 2 miles apart, Manor Mill and Oldfields School are historic members of the Monkton community and continue to deepen their partnership in creating spaces for learning, creating, growing, and connecting. In 2025, we began co-hosting retreats with guests sleeping in dormitories on Oldfields’ beautiful campus and enjoying workshops, meetings, programs, and meals in a combination of locations at Manor Mill and Oldfields School.

Our partnership with Oldfields School allows for a truly integrated retreat experience.

Your Program, Your Way

Retreats can include programming entirely delivered by your group, utilizing the diverse spaces at both Oldfields and Manor Mill.

Custom Enhancements

If you’re looking to enrich your itinerary, Manor Mill can also provide information about custom classes and/or special events tailored to your group’s interests. From creative workshops to historical explorations, we can help design engaging additions.

Manor Mill Events

While attendance at previously scheduled Manor Mill events is not automatically included, we are happy to explore possible options that align with your retreat dates and interests.

Housing

Oldfields School provides comfortable dormitory accommodations designed to make your group feel at home. Our dormitories can currently accommodate large groups with both double rooms, single rooms and apartments. We understand every group has unique needs, so please let us know your specific requirements, and we can potentially explore additional spaces to suit your party.

Dining

We offer a variety of dining options to ensure your group’s culinary needs are met:

• On-Campus Dining: Enjoy delicious and convenient meals in the Oldfields School dining hall.

• Catered Options: Let us assist you in arranging custom catered meals, delivered to your preferred location at Oldfields or Manor Mill.

• Off-Campus Exploration: Groups are welcome to arrange their own dining experiences at local restaurants in Sparks Glencoe and the surrounding areas.

• Combination: Mix and match these options to create the perfect dining experience for your retreat.

Please note that alcohol is not permitted on the Oldfields campus.

The historic spaces of Manor Mill and Oldfields School have been constructed across decades (and centuries!) and include a significant number of internal and external stairs along with long and sloping walks between buildings. To ensure a comfortable and accessible experience for all members of your group, please advise us of any accessibility and mobility concerns during your inquiry. We are committed to identifying solutions and the best fit for your needs.
