Mountain Air, Games & Good Company—Let’s Go to Harwood Lodge!

Ready for a change of scenery and a weekend with friends?

Join Hearts For Sight Foundation and the Sierra Club for our third annual three-day trip to Harwood Lodge, November 13–15, 2026!


We’re bringing the camping experience indoors with a stay at a rustic mountain lodge near Mt. Baldy in the San Gabriel Mountains. Pack your favorite games, bring your stories, and get ready for shared meals, plenty of laughter, and time together in the mountains!

 

Make Yourself Part of the Fun

Challenge a friend to a game, meet someone new over a meal, or settle in for conversation after a day of enjoying the mountain setting. Depending on conditions and our group’s plans, we may also take a walk or short hike along the surrounding trails.



Meals are included! Everyone will lend a hand with meal preparation, serving, and cleanup. Working together is part of what makes this weekend special.
