Campus map

When you arrive at Seabeck Conference Center, cross the bridge over the lagoon and follow the road to the right, past the Reeser and Tamarack buildings. Continue on up the hill toward the back of the property until you come to the Pines Building, which will be on your left. Park behind the building and enter through the back door. You will find welcomers with name tags, room assignments, carts for luggage, and other information.

If you are arriving on Friday, please plan to arrive any time from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. to check into your rooms. Social hour begins in the Pines Building at 5 p.m., and dinner is at 6 p.m.

Meals will be served in the Dining Hall at the Inn (the large building you see as you enter the conference center).

Daytrippers, when you arrive on Saturday, come right through the front door of the Pines Building. Morning Prayer begins at 9:15 a.m. in the Pines building, and our first session begins at 9:30 a.m. in the same building.

Checkout is at 1 p.m. on Sunday (late checkouts incur a fee, so consider packing up and checking out early before lunch at 11:30.)

Please note there is nursery care during the sessions on Saturday, and when appropriate, there will be fun alternate programming for kids and youth.

If you have any questions about housing, please email Edith Cobourn. If you have questions about volunteering, please email Rachel Brandt. For questions about payment, please email Lindsay. For all other queries, please contact Kim.
