Frequently asked questions

What if I can't pay?

We ensure that cost of coming presents no barrier to any camper, participant, or volunteer. The cost of every camper is roughly $200 for all meals, activities, and housing. We ask for campers to pay what they can with no restrictions or impact to their full participation.

Why a Spirituality Retreat?

SPP founders identified that those of us who grew up in the Bible Belt felt or observed others being excluded from cultural, spiritual practices and religious life. We believe all young people have the right to harness every possible asset to help them build a sense of self and community, including spirituality or religion if they choose. For those who do not identify as spiritual or religious, we seek to cultivate allyship, understanding, co-conspiratorship, and support.

Where is it?

For safety and confidentiality purposes, the location of the annual retreat is disclosed as a receipt and confirmation of registration. SPP currently holds retreats in the East/Central Texas region.

housing

Our Camp Director organizes housing arrangements based on age and access needs. Housing options range from bunkbeds in a bunkhouse style cabin to a two per room and common space larger cabin. All doors remain open for safety purposes and all campers under 18 are assigned a camp counselor for supervision and support.
