Camps, Retreats & Adult Programs
Summer Camp
Galilee’s summer camping program on Lake Tahoe helps youth develop deep relationships with their peers, caring counselors, the natural world, and God. Campers are placed in Adventure Groups: a boys cabin and a girls cabin combined, with others the same age. Adventure Groups are led by a resident staff person and two counselors. Groups spend the week together kayaking on Lake Tahoe, rock climbing, camping out under the stars, making music and art, and much more! Galilee’s counselors and staff undergo a selective application process, including an in-depth background check, as well as a ten-day Counselor Training Program.
Book a Retreat
Galilee offers a stunning location on Lake Tahoe and cozy hospitality for your group of 12 to 70 people to come together, grow closer, and return home rejuvenated. We have accommodations in a variety of styles, from lodges to cabins, dorms to tipis. Our kitchen creates home-cooked meals made with love and quality ingredients. Our outdoor activities include beach time with swimming and kayaking, and an outdoor amphitheater with a view of the lake. Come breathe in the fresh air and discover what’s possible for your group while we take care of you!
Adult Programs
Galilee facilitates a variety of retreat programs for adults in spring and summer. Body, Mind, and Soul happens every April, the Galilee Women’s Retreat is over Labor Day Weekend, and the Awakening Man Retreat in August.
We are excited to announce our new Grief Retreat in March. These programs are supported by talented facilitators who provide enriching experiences for retreat guests. Participants are empowered by the programs, nourished by the tasty and nutritious meals, and inspired by the beautiful scenery of Lake Tahoe. Experiencing individual growth in a supportive community never felt so good.
The kids raved and raved about how much they loved every moment of camp. Every day they tell us ‘I wish I was still at camp!'
