Welcome to Big Bear Retreat Center

Big Bear Retreat Center is nestled in the ancient Juniper and Pine forests of the Southern Californian Mountains near the town of Big Bear Lake (a 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles). With an emphasis on inclusion and accessibility, our 100-acre property provides a retreat refuge for people of all faiths and walks of life. We look forward to welcoming you here.
