Concordia Language Villages has welcomed groups for over thirty years to our International Retreat Center on Turtle River Lake, near Bemidji, Minn. Authentic architecture, international cuisine and the beautiful north woods provide a peaceful and secluded setting for meetings, retreats and conferences from September through May. Our new retreat destination at The Forest International Retreat Center near Stillwater, Minn., offers the same commitment to quality and meaningful experience in an attractive, natural setting.

Our mission is to prepare young people for responsible citizenship in our global community. The mission is achieved by creatively connecting language, cultural awareness and sensitivity to the practice of tolerance and respect. Concordia Language Villages is a program of Concordia College, a private, four-year liberal arts college in Moorhead, Minnesota.
