Point Reyes National Seashore Association invites you to enjoy your own private retreat at the beautiful Clem Miller Environmental Education Center nestled in a secluded valley beside the Phillip Burton Wilderness in Point Reyes National Seashore. Camp Clem is home to our year-around residential education camps and provides the perfect setting for a family retreat, reunion or special celebration.
Invite up to 25 friends and family for a two-night accommodation* in our open-beam pine sleeping cabins. Make yourself at home in the large cedar lodge or take a blanket or chair outside and relax in the private meadow overlooking the lush Bishop pine forest. Play games, read a book, take a hike, or just spend quality time in nature away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Donor must schedule retreat within two weeks of auction close.

A private nature walk in the park based on your interests with local naturalist Todd Plummer of West Marin Nature Tours on one of your retreat days.
A gourmet paella dinner featuring the freshest local organic ingredients and prepared on-site by Tom Meckfessel of Paella del Reyes on one of your retreat days.
A gathering at the campfire circle for s’mores and hot chocolate. Tell fun ghost stories, reminisce, sing songs or just enjoy the warmth of the fire.
