Remind Me: Joshua Tree Writers Retreat has closed it's doors for the summer (YOU wanna pay that A/C bill?!) so we are using the time to raise some money for the Residency year to come.

Our fundraising goals are as follow:

1 - To build a "Send a Parent to Writers Camp" fund. As one of the only family and pet friendly writers' retreats in the country, part of our primary mission at Joshua Tree Writers Retreat is to provide a space for parents (however that looks for your family unit) to focus on their work, with or without their dependents, out in a creatively supportive community. We understand that this might be a hardship for some, and so we hope to develop a scholarship for two, one-week slots to a parent who hopes to stay at Joshua Tree Writers Retreat in 2026. The financial goal for this scholarship is $2,450.

2 - To build enough funds to finish rehabbing our Community Classroom while maintaining it's historic spirit. The original structure on our property, this 1953 recreational cabin has seen better days, but we can get it there! We are about halfway through the rehabilitation of this cabin, but we still need an estimated $15,000 to finish the job through and through and be DONE done. (We know. We get it.)

This auction will be open until July 20, and winners will be notified re: pick-up/delivery details after payment is complete.
