Commuter Meal Plan

We very much encourage you to stay at Camp Allen in order not to miss important fellowship time with other attendees and to enjoy the retreat experience. If you aren’t able to do so for financial reasons, we encourage you to apply for scholarships (see below) which may reduce your tuition portion.

However, there is a commuter meal option for those who need to stay off-site. Note: this only pays for meals at Camp Allen and does not include lodging or tuition for the event.

Please visit Camp Allen’s registration page for more information.

Optional activities

During the break time on Saturday afternoon, you may take a nature hike on the 960 acres, canoe a serene lake, shoot skeet, or go horseback riding. (Several of these activities require an additional fee.)

From Camp Allen: “The times for pick up at IAH are between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm with the goal of having a 10:00 am 2:00pm and/or 4:00 pm pickup. We will coordinate with the guests by email prior to their arrival and obtain their cell phone number for contact on their day of arrival. We pick up and return guests to terminal B in either a Camp Allen vehicle or commercial vehicle.”

Scholarships / Financial Aid

Tuition assistance and work study scholarships are available, but are limited based on current funding (we are a nonprofit organization that receives our funding primarily through gifts from individual donors. We do not own the rights to C.S. Lewis’ works.)

To apply, please email a resume/c.v. and a letter explaining the following to jbohnert at cslewis.org: 1) why you wish to attend, 2) what you hope to gain from your attendance, and 3) why you need financial aid to attend. Your materials will be reviewed by the scholarship committee, who will select the recipients from the pool of applicants. Awards will be made in two rounds. Applications are due by September 20, 2019. Requests after that date will be accepted until October 15 and will be based upon available funding.

While a higher priority is given to certain groups (faculty, currently enrolled full-time students, missionaries, those working in ministry), anyone with need may apply. Note: Scholarships and tuition assistance only go towards the tuition portion of registration and not room/board.
