Check-in will be Friday, July 25 between 4–6 PM. We’ll kick things off that evening, so please plan to arrive during that window if possible.

The retreat wraps up late Sunday afternoon, but you’re welcome to stay through Sunday night and depart Monday morning if that works better for your travel plans — especially if you're flying out or want to soak in a slower exit.

We recommend booking return flights for Sunday evening or Monday morning to ensure you don’t miss any of the final day’s activities.

The closest airport is Twin Falls (TWF) — only 20 minutes from the retreat location.
Other options:

• Boise Airport (BOI): 2 hours 15 minutes away
• Salt Lake City (SLC): 3.5 hours away
  

We recommend arriving Friday afternoon, check in time will be between 4-6 pm. You can head out anytime after Sunday afternoon (late afternoon or evening flights recommended to get all of Sunday's activities in).

Buhl in late July is warm and dry with lots of sunshine. Expect:

• 88–95°F
• 60–65°F
  

Bring layers — mornings and evenings can cool down quickly in the desert.

You’ll want to be ready for leadership sessions, hands-on activities, and outdoor adventure.
