Camp Avalon Spiritual Nature Retreat Camp Avalon Spiritual Nature Retreat Offers Sedona's Only Creekside Nature Retreat with Tent and Van Camping and Spiritual Activities

For centuries, travelers have been led to Sedona, historically revered as a sacred place for retreat and peace. In the Native American tradition, no battles were fought here and no permanent residences were built out of respect for the active spiritual forces that dwell among the energy vortices and towering red rocks. Several Native American elders have visited Avalon Gardens, including Wallace B

lack Elk—who, when he first came and did a sweat, commented on the living spiritual forces existing at Avalon. Dennis Banks and Russell Means (of The Last Of The Mohicans fame)— were two founders of the American Indian movement who also visited Avalon Gardens, to name a few well-known native elders. In 1989 the Founders of Camp Avalon, Gabriel of Urantia and Niann Emerson Chase, began what would become a lifelong spiritual journey after a 3-month stay at a Sedona campground not unlike this one. They had become humble seekers of life's great mysteries, and the spirit guides of these lands gifted them with the conviction needed to pursue a lifetime of service and community building in the outworking ministry of Global Community Communications Alliance. Nearly 30 years later they have built one of the world's largest spiritual communities, an EcoVillage in Southern Arizona with members from around the globe. Today, their vision to give back what was given to them nearly 30 years ago is manifested in the spiritual nature retreat of Camp Avalon, where travelers and sojourners of all faiths gather from around the world to pray amidst the majestic trees, meditate beside the ribboning Oak Creek, and seek both inwardly and outwardly for the next step in their journey. Here you will discover sacred space and time which we hope may guide you into your highest destiny. At Camp Avalon, may the Earth and sky be your temple, as no edifice is needed to worship the loving Creator who exists all around us.

Camping in nature, out there on the earth and under the sky, is like a prayer, a direct line to the Creator. You feel the ground beneath you, solid and ancient, the very essence of the earth. The scent of the earth, the trees, and the flowers surrounds you, filling your senses with the beauty of creation. The sound of the wind in the leaves, the birds in the branches, is like a hymn, a song of praise to the divine. In those moments, surrounded by the simplicity and the truth of nature, you can't help but feel connected, not just to the world around you, but to something greater, something transcendent. Camping in nature is not just an escape—it's a spiritual experience, a way to connect with God through the earth itself.

Our Story

Camp Avalon is an outreach ministry of Global Community Communications Alliance, a non-denominational temple-church community, tax-exempt under IRS § 501(c)(3), which operates spiritual and educational services and programs for the encouragement of spiritual healing and rejuvenation through connection to the natural world.

Camp Avalon is located in the magical Red Rock country of Sedona, Arizona. In the early 1990s our Pastor and founder, Gabriel of Urantia, deemed Sedona as "the spiritual Mecca of the Western world". Truly the only outdoor temple and retreat open and available to those who seek spiritual renewal and solace along the banks of Oak Creek just downstream from majestic Cathedral Rock.

For more than 25 years sojourners, ministers and missionaries in training, church members, and welcome visitors have come from all races and religions around the world to this sacred place for personal growth, classes, reflection, renewal, transformation, retreat, worship, celebrations, and inspiration. Nurturing life-enriching ceremonies, workshops, traditions, fellowship, and spiritual practices are the focus of all activities in the garden. The beauty and spiritual energy of this land creates an environment for higher receptivity to divine leadings and devotional prayer.

Camp Avalon is infused with decades of prayer and care by devoted volunteers from the four corners of the earth, as well as the living spiritual forces present on the land long before us. Upon entering this garden sanctuary, many people have experienced the feeling of a monastery or ashram. The activities of hundreds of sacred events, Native American ceremonies, meditation retreats, drumming and prayer circles, weddings and baptisms, celebrations of life and healings, and educational workshops, have created a uniquely uplifting energy field that substantiates the drawing force of what Sedona has become known for. The grounds offer several different vignettes including a handcrafted stone creekside amphitheater that has been the setting for ceremonies for more than 20 years.
