MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT RETREAT (Lake Geneva, Wisconsin)

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER) is a program sponsored by the United States Navy Chief of Chaplains through the Chaplains Religious Enrichment Development Operation (CREDO). Established in 1971, CREDO aims to strengthen the spiritual readiness, resilience, and relational health of Sailors and their families. The MER is designed to equip married military couples with practical skills and insights that enhance their relationships, allowing them to thrive within the unique demands of military life. This retreat aligns with the Navy's core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract, N0018925P0435, awarded to TCA Block 7 Hotel for a “MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT RETREAT” during 08/21/25–09/28/25 (value $18,332). The prior work is likely similar because it involved providing retreat facilities and supporting services for the same type of marriage enrichment program, and the current requirement again calls for a three-day, two-night retreat venue and associated accommodations/amenities in the Lake Geneva area.
