Beautiful Lacoya Lake at Enchanted Hills Retreat

We herald the impact of Enchanted Hills Camp on hundreds of blind youth and their families each year. What we don't often mention are the countless people who - compelled by its beautiful landscape and amenities -  select Enchanted Hills as the setting for their workshop, staff retreat, reunion and even wedding.

Enchanted Hills' spacious cabins, unique features (including a Yurt, a Geodome, an Outdoor Redwood Amphitheatre, plus Wi-Fi and delicious meals), proximity to the wineries and sights of Napa and its reasonable rates make it ideally situated for your next private event.

You won't just be doing yourself a favor...all rental proceeds are returned to camp, so that we may sustain Enchanted Hills as a transformative, unparalleled locale for blind and low vision kids to explore, create and learn.

Experience the magic of Enchanted Hills! To reserve your space for 20 to 120 or get more information, call 415-694-7310 or go to www.enchantedhillsretreat.com<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0011WWJwbJOpM9XWaXg266zrj1Z13KuLSxrcaMa89JBa1-_sHMcbJ9pqZbYaYU-YamKkSerzH65F3aRH5vwqyvUQzo8QGtNi7Myz5-h5OSYIq-GXQAtWFqxI0Jpc7M-hkIx3b9hk1kNmHR0a1RyPqhlcOdIiLT0Kzk_XDxvt_XyU1iD6iJjpNat_OfU1MRpACWvbA-0h2Zsv8Q7cQ6f_tFpoP71AJlv-XY7C_-awByQvNVKHigmozYc4AVOoSL3Z-PtecNS399rIHSr1rixrF9iGw==>.
