Laity Lodge is a place of subtle discovery—an ecumenical retreat center nestled in the Texas Hill Country. Since 1961, guests from all walks of life have made their way to this outpost along the Frio River to slow down and discover—in nature, around shared meals, through quiet reflection, and in the arts—the nearness and goodness of God.

Scholarships are readily available and can be requested during registration.
Note: This winter, Black Bluff will undergo some much-needed external renovations. This means Laity Lodge will be a little quieter than usual, with limited capacity. We've also made the difficult decision to pause our annual Men’s and Women’s retreats, with every intention of bringing them back in 2028. Thanks for your patience. We hope to see you in the Canyon soon.
