A place to gather with purpose

El Faro hosts approximately 80 camps and retreats each year. Most are weekend groups of about 50 to 60 people, though the campus can support smaller family gatherings and larger events up to 230 participants.

The coastal setting gives groups room to step away from routine, focus on one another, worship, learn, rest, and reconnect. At the same time, the campus remains connected to El Faro’s active mission and hospitality community.
