This October, we'll be nestled in the Angeles National Forest, at a beautiful and expansive retreat venue about 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, in the Antelope Valley, near Lake Hughes. 


Welcome to an exclusive lodge experience, where comfort meets community.


Embrace the comfort of four spacious climate-controlled lodges. Each lodge has eight guestrooms designed to accommodate 4 to 7 attendees. Each guestroom is equipped with a private bathroom for utmost convenience and privacy. These spaces are perfect for reconnecting with old friends or making new ones.


These rooms are configured with up to 3 bunk beds and one single bed. (Upper bunk sleeping is VOLUNTARY)


Additionally... Bed linen and towels are provided! Leave your sleeping bag at home!


You'll be living in comfort, as each lodge also has a communal family room and patios with gorgeous vistas!


As always, your weekend will be backed with workshops, dances, sports, entertainment, Singles events, events for couples, and our signature Football game will be making its return... 


The weekend will last from Friday until Monday (four days and three nights) with everything included... nine curated meals, and all activities included. 


You'll only need access to your wallet when you visit our vendors (and you will want to visit our vendors!)


Mid Summer - All Access Passes start at $499
