Retreats and Picnics

One of our favorite activities is the semi annual retreat in Idyllwild California. These retreats, held at Idyllwild Park, typically take place in April and October. The campsite is close to 6000 feet high so it can get very cold at night (for California) . Temperatures in the 30's are common and we have even had it drop down as low as the mid 20's. The April retreat is a Leadership Camp and the October retreat is for our Black Belt Ceremony. The retreats are open to all students and their families. Each retreat has a Saturday morning workout followed by a Pot-Luck and then ending the day with a big campfire in the evening. The park is less than an hours drive from either location (French Valley or Menifee). Many of our families go up for the weekend. There are campsites available in the park or B&B's and hotels in town, a five minute drive from the Park.
