Camp Allen is a year-round facility located about an hour northwest of Houston. With over 1,000 acres, the camp hosts everything from summer camp to spiritual retreats and conferences.
We will be staying at the Lakeside Meeting Center and Cabins.
Camp Allen is full of options during free time, including going for a trail run or hike, mountain biking, lawn games, horseshoes, sand volleyball, pickle ball, basketball, fishing (bring your own gear), reading in a rocking chair, craft time, nap time, and more!
Some of you may have stayed at Camp Allen before and received catered meals from Camp Allen’s main lodge. Our retreat will be different in terms of meals as we will be preparing food and eating together at the Lakeside Meeting Center.
You are welcome to bring your own snacks, but we should have more than enough food to keep everyone filled up!
If you have a food allergy/restriction, no worries! We will have a place for you to indicate these dietary needs when you register.
We do not want cost to be a barrier to participation! When you register, there will be a place to indicate if you need a scholarship to help cover the cost of registration. You will be able to indicate your amount of financial need. This cost will be covered by a Lent Soup Supper fundraiser and discretionary funds.
A more detailed packing list will be provided in the weeks before the retreat, but here is a list of the kinds of things you may want to pack:
