The Details
CLIMBING
Guided climbing and instruction are available for climbers of all skill levels, from first-time beginners to intermediate and advanced climbers. All of our guides are AMGA Apprentice Rock Guides and are experts at finding the right climbs for you. In order to make sure everyone gets exactly what they need, we’ll focus on Intro instruction designed for those who have never climbed before, Intermediate instruction for climbers wanting to climb in the 5.5-5.9 range (best for those who have some experience, but perhaps have never climbed outside), and Advanced for climbers wanting to join our guides on more difficult routes.
YOGA
Yoga will be offered twice a day by our very own guide and instructor, Katie Paulson. Katie has been practicing yoga for 14 years. In 2015 she went to Costa Rica to take a 200 hour instructor course and has been teaching ever since. Her favorite style is creative vinyasa flow with some power thrown in for good measure. She loves doing yoga outside, and exploring lighthearted movement in any way possible.
MEALS
At our retreat we make it a priority to provide the best tasting food with the highest quality ingredients. Over the weekend our chef will cook breakfast and dinner, providing alternatives for anyone with dietary restrictions. And of course, dessert. We firmly believe that dessert is essential to a happy life.
CAMPING
- We will be hosting the retreat at Camp Nylen, a 10-acre, private basecamp near Joshua Tree National Park. All camping equipment, including tents, pads and sleeping bags will be provided so that you can travel light and let us set up for you.* Camp Nylen is surrounded by wide open space, and we’ll have it all to ourselves. Under a large, metal sun shelter mounted on a concrete pad, the campground has two large park-grade picnic tables, a 5,000 gallon water tank, an ADA-sized porta-potty that is serviced weekly, a large propane fire pit, and beautiful rock formations and native flora and fauna all around. The overall feel is your own private National Park in the desert. There is no cell reception or internet access at Camp Nylen. We will have emergency communication capabilities should we need them, but the goal is to disconnect in order to reconnect with ourselves and each other
- *Please note that we will take the utmost care in assuring that everything you use is scrupulously cleaned and laundered before you touch it, with COVID-19 protocols and your health as our highest priority. If you would prefer to bring your own camping equipment, you are of course welcome to.
