Event Info

Abundant Living Conference

Camp Allen and UTMB’s Sealy Center on Aging invite you to the 20th annual Abundant Living Conference. This year's theme is Reconnecting with Nature. Gather with others on the journey of aging while learning from healthcare experts and spiritual leaders in the beautiful piney woods of Navasota. Experience music, nature walks, yoga, labyrinth walks, and the gifts of friendship and hospitality.

Camp Allen Conference Center is located approximately an hour northwest of Houston on over 1,100 forested acres. The conference center features hotel-style accommodations, dining, state-of-the-art meeting facilities, and a beautiful chapel.

Registrations will be limited due to COVID guidelines. To register, visit www.campallen.org/registerforevents.

We look forward to connecting with you at camp!
