Sequoia Retreat

Postponed

This year's highly anticipated Sequoia retreat, scheduled to take place on August 4-6, has been canceled due to a record amount of snowfall in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Since the Sequoia High Sierra Camp is located at an elevation of more than 8,000 feet, the camp owners themselves, have not even been able to access their own camp!  Thus, they have made the difficult decision of closing the camp for the entire season 😢. 

The Sequoia High Sierra Camp is one of our favorite locations for the Muslim Marriage Rejuvenation Retreat. We hope to continue this tradition for many years to come, insha'Allah. We have tentatively scheduled our 2024 Sequoia retreat on August 2-4, 2024. We hope that you can join us then!

Sequoia Retreat

This retreat is an ADVENTURE from beginning to end! From the moment you approach the Sierra Nevada mountains until you leave, this retreat pushes you out of your comfort zone in an exciting and challenging way. The adventure starts with a windy and bumpy 2.5 mile unpaved road that leads to Sequoia High Sierra Camp’s dirt parking lot (not the time to bring your low rider 🙂 Next, you have a one-mile hike up to a beautiful and secluded, high-altitude camp.

 

The only belongings you bring will be what you can carry on your back (no rolling suitcases here!) You will be staying in a rustic one – room tent cabin with no electricity, truly allowing you to be one with the forest. There are clean, shared bath houses, one for women and one for men (with private outdoor showers). You will get a workout as you hike from cabin to bathhouse to the awe-inspiring dining pavilion. And the setting for the classroom? An open-air pavilion overlooking the forest. Just let that soak in…

After a day of “aha!” moments and lessons learned, what better way to end the day then by feasting your eyes on breathtaking sunset views while dining on gourmet food with your loved one? Did we mention how delicious the food is? Hand-crafted baked goods, made to order omelettes, and meals created with love catered to meet halal and any other dietary needs are just some of the reasons why dining at the retreat is so special. In addition to the practical and insightful skills learned, this glamping adventure will provide a bonding experience as well as special memories to last a lifetime.
