The C.S. Lewis Foundation: Western Regional Retreat will convene at the beautiful University of San Diego campus overlooking Mission Bay. The physical beauty of the University of San Diego campus, known as Alcalá Park, reaches beyond the eye of the beholder. The institution's founder believed in the enhancement of education in truth and goodness through exposure to beauty and harmony, a simple but profound educational philosophy. The University's site on a prominent mesa in the center of the nation's sixth largest city blends graceful architecture with stunning views of the ocean and bay and of the rugged canyons that lines the mesa.

All conferees and staff will be housed on-campus at the Alcala Vista Apartments. Accommodations consist of two-bedroom suites with separate bathrooms and shared lounge and kitchenette. Nine meals are included (Thursday dinner through Sunday lunch) at the University Center, Main Dining Room. Overlooking Tecolote Canyon and Mission Bay, this dining setting boasts some of the most fabulous views in San Diego. Meals are served in an all-you-care-to-eat buffet-style.
