About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
Join us for a week of Summer Camp at the Forest!
Re-live the days of going to camp for a week, spending time in the woods with friends singing songs, making s'mores, telling stories, hiking, and doing arts and crafts.
Or, get the chance to experience as an adult something that you may not have had the chance to do as a kid!
All while sleeping comfortably in our air-conditioned cabins (no bunk houses!), eating our delicious food, and experiencing the quiet and contemplative atmosphere of the Forest of Peace.
What You'll Get to Do:
Enjoy the company of your fellow "campers" and our staff of "camp counselors"!
Meditation sessions three times a day.
Help out in the kitchen with "KP Duty"
Be part of a small group where you can discuss what's on your heart and mind.
Making s'mores, telling stories, and singing songs around the campfire.
Arts and crafts (think more like making prayer beads and mandalas than popsicle stick and macaroni art).
A time to get away from the busy-ness of the world and spend a beautiful week at your favorite place!

So, invite a friend to come to camp with you! Or, be open to the possibility of making a new camp friend by sharing with a cabinmate!
