This Year's Location!

Nestled on 173 acres in the tranquil Angeles National Forest, this unique and fully accessible camp offers the perfect setting for our unique program, deep connection, and unforgettable fun. It

For four days, as we transform the site into the ultimate black lesbian paradise, this new retreat center provides a beautiful backdrop for it all—complete with fresh mountain air, open skies, and all the charm of a classic camp with modern comforts.

Highlights include:

  • Lakeside views, forest trails, and wide-open meadows
  • Communal gathering spaces, campfire circles, and outdoor adventure areas
  • A spirit of joy, belonging, and purpose infused into every corner of camp
  • Fully accessible facilities designed with care and inclusivity in mind

This year, we have two lodging options for all comfort levels including charming and spacious cabins, as well as private style lodge rooms.


Each cabin features:

  • Spacious sleeping areas with single beds, no bunk bed sleeping unless you want to!
  • Each bunk is adorned with a handmade quilt, crafted to add a personal, homey touch to each sleeping nook.  All linen is provided, but you might want to bring your own pillow.  You know how we are.
  • Private bathrooms right inside the cabin—no late-night walks across camp.
  • A comfortable common room in the center of each cabin, perfect for games (Whist anyone?), conversations, or winding down from your retreat day.
  • A covered front porch with handmade rocking chairs—great for relaxing and soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

For those who seek more privacy, easier access, or simply a quieter environment, our Private Suites include:

  • A private room for two.
  • Private bathrooms for comfort and convenience
  • Comfortable beds in a quiet setting, ideal for rest after a full day of camp activities
  • Climate control to keep you comfortable
  • Bedding and linens are included!
