A Men's Retreat for Growth and Renewal

For the last 17 years, as many as 150 men and boys have been gathering at Buffalo Gap Camp on a Fall weekend to:

• Renew relationships with friends, fathers, sons, and brothers
• Share life experiences with other men
• Rekindle connections with nature
• Explore and grow as men

Open to Men and Boys

This weekend, open to men and boys (boys must be with an adult male who must take complete responsibility for them), includes powerful rituals, sweat lodges, drumming, storytelling, poetry, workshops and an opportunity to connect with other men and reaffirm our authentic male power. All this in a beautiful fall setting in West Virginia.

Men of the Chesapeake Basin Region ...

gather at Buffalo Gap Camp again this year to celebrate the magic of our connections. This special three-day celebration brings together men of all ages for an extraordinary weekend at pastoral Buffalo Gap Camp. Bring your son, your father, your brother, your best friend, and meet with other men.

Join us for a weekend which...

• provides a safe place where men and boys of all ages can choose any number of experiences with capable mentors and sage guides...a chance to dare something a little unusual.
• allows you to move closer to loved ones, bringing your sons, your father, your brothers and friends into a safe men's work conference.
• provides an opportunity for each age group to speak its heart to men of other age groups.
