The flower beds at La Foret are gorgeous in the summer time. We love sitting with the flowers, the forest, and the friends. 🦋💛🌲

Heads up! Registration for Taller & Smaller Camp (formerly Grand Camp) closes on MONDAY, June 15!

This year’s theme is Campfire Companions: Sparks of Courage, Joy, and Love. We will explore how each person carries a spark of divine light—and how one spark in the dark is enough to bring light, but all of our sparks together create something truly bright, beautiful, and life-giving. We will sing “This Little Light of Mine,” make lanterns and other crafts, gather around the campfire, share stories, play games, enjoy the pool, take a gentle exploring hike, and spend meaningful time together in the beauty of La Foret.

Sign up TODAY at laforet.org/register.

“We lose our souls if we lose the experience of the forest, the butterflies, the song of the birds, if we can’t see the stars at night.”

Firefighter Trainings at La Foret

06/05/2026

Black Forest Fire Rescue held a chainsaw certification training for volunteer wildland firefighters here at La Foret. We are so thrilled that we got to offer our property as a space for fire mitigation training and education for our community.

We are deeply committed to caring for our neighbors, and we are so excited that this partnership allows us to care for our whole community and support these volunteers who are willing to run into danger.
