Our Mission
To provide a Christ-centered conference, retreat, and camp environment where all guests can experience God in a peaceful setting.
Our Focus
To be servants to all who visit our facilities.
Our History
The Great Masterpiece attraction was created around Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. In 1929, August Wagner Company of Berlin created a 300,000-piece mosaic of da Vinci's artwork. The artwork consists of 10 panels each weighing over 500 pounds. The mosaic was flown from Germany to New York and eventually assembled in Lake Wales, Florida. The 75-acre Christian retreat center is located on the former Masterpiece Gardens tourist attraction, which closed in 1978. In 1985, Peninsular Florida District Council of the Assemblies of God completed a 450-bed dormitory, gymnasium and cafeteria as well as a 65,000-gallon swimming pool on the lush grounds of Lake Pierce. Masterpiece Gardens has been committed to providing organizations with a safe, clean and exciting environment to hold conferences, retreats and camps. Our goal is to continue to build a tradition of excellence while developing new amenities for guests.
Location
We are located in the heart of central Florida, four miles N-NE of Lake Wales within one hour of Disney World and Sea World. The property has a towering cypress tree that is more than 32 feet in circumference estimated to be almost 4,000 years old.
Ministries
During the summer months, Masterpiece Gardens hosts numerous camp programs that focus on youth, children and families. Throughout the rest of the year, groups can design programs that cater to their goals that are not in contradiction with Masterpiece Gardens' stated mission.
