Come join us at Camp Allen, amid the piney woods near Houston, as we explore the creative imagination and lives, forged in friendship, of C.S. Lewis and two of his most important influences — J.R.R. Tolkien, and Joy Davidman Lewis.
Enjoy a respite with friends, old and new, with good food and laughter, learning, and community. Come join us as Joseph Pearce, Andrew Lazo, and Patti Callahan Henry give us insight into the lives and works of C.S. Lewis and his circle, so that we might apply these lessons to our own creative lives and friendships.
