Bring Your Work Here - Whidbey Institute

We host groups ranging in size from about a dozen to over 100, with lodging capacity for 45. For groups that exceed our lodging capacity, we recommend a combination of onsite and offsite lodging, plus onsite camping in the warmer months.

Our campus serves a range of needs for large and small gatherings, full group sessions, and breakout space.

If you’re looking for a quiet space for solo contemplation, check out Hilltop Retreats—a new opportunity from Whidbey Institute founders Fritz and Vivienne Hull.
