Music, Art, Drama, and Dance (MADD) Camp is an amazing week of intentional community and creativity. We believe that the arts and creative expression are incredible tools for experiencing and growing in our spirituality. ALL artistic skill-levels (really!) are present and welcome at MADD Camp. Along with engaging youth in intellectual faith conversations, we attempt to get youth “out of their heads” and into experiencing God (or the Holy, Divine, or transcendent) through creativity, nature, friendships, self-discovery, games, activities, and LOTS of fun. We find these moments to be the most powerful in helping young people to develop a lifelong faith, and a foundation of belief in themselves.

Like all of our camps and retreats for youth, MADD is an expansively welcoming and open environment. Trained staff help guide youth in engaging with their spirituality on their terms. The Refuge camps and retreats create a safe, brave space where youth can ask questions, explore their faith, and connect more deeply to themselves, each other, the earth, and the Holy - whatever that means to them.

Pricing & Scholarship Information

La Foret is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We set pricing in order to be able to cover the cost of our quality programming, not to make a profit. Camperships are always available, so please do not let cost be a barrier! At the end of this form, you may save your camper's spot by paying the $50 deposit if that is needed. You may then email camp@laforet.org if the following pricing tiers are out of your budget and you need additional funding.

• The "Subsidized Level" ($600) is for those who regularly experience financial hardship.

• The "Sustainer Level" ($705) reflects the true cost of hosting one camper for a week at La Foret, based on estimates of attendance, supplies, food, etc.

• The "Supporter Level" ($810) is closer to what comparable programs in the area cost, and it allows us to offer the other tiers. However, we know that not every camper will be able to attend for that price.

Registration is open now! Registration closes on June 22, 2026.
