Lebanon, Pennsylvania • September 24th – 27th, 2026
An immersive gathering celebrating leadership in parkour.
We bring remarkable leaders from the global parkour community together for 4 days of learning, sharing, and play.
Educational Activities
Share what you have, find what you need. This entire experience is centered around education and learning. Every day you will choose from a selection of formal presentations and hands-on workshops delivered by community thought-leaders and peers. There also is space for impromptu sessions, coaching review, and more.
Festive Environment
We don’t underestimate the power of space. The Retreat is set in the beautiful forests and streams of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. You’ll bunk in a heated cabin, attend sessions around tables, and join in health & wellness sessions. Every night, the campgrounds transform as we take on epic night missions designed by our expert team.
Community Jam Vibe
At the heart of this all is the culture of play & friendship we all know well. There is plenty of time for swapping skills, exploring the environment, finding fun challenges, and meeting new folks. As a parkour-community event, you’ll be surrounded by peers that understand the fun of overcoming obstacles, a sense of challenge, and open play.
Share your ideas.
Climb the trees.
Connect the Parkour Spirit
Over 30 experts and leaders give presentations and run hands-on workshops covering a wide array of topics including:
community building
business management
coaching practices
architecture & design
sports science/health
and more!
This weekend is as much about growing as it is about relaxing. Set out on an adventure into the acres of forest surrounding us or build a playground close to home-base. Jump into the cool lake (pack your floaties), sit by a cozy evening fire and talk late into the night, or team up to take on our survival-style night missions. Every day is open to you.
Meet folks who are facing the same challenges as you, and lend them your hand. Passionate and dedicated gym owners, local leaders, parkour coaches, practitioners, researchers, and students all come together to help each other be stronger.
“The only way to describe it is there being an overwhelming sense of community.” - Jake
We asked folks:
What do you love the most about Art of Retreat?
“I appreciated the diversity of people that attended. I learned a lot from the different people that I met and speakers at the events. It was refreshing after having a bit of a personal crisis with coaching. There was definitely a sense of togetherness and inclusivity between groups and people. Folks seemed easy to approach and talk to which made the event feel more cohesive.” - Bryan
“What I loved most? Coming back and feeling like I was a part of a group/family/team. Last year I was just stepping into this world. The food was plentiful, the morning activities we awesome, and the intro of additional timeslots for people to step up and do sessions were great.
I also loved how the cabins were divided into people with high and low energy — whole cabin went out and participated this year in the night mission making it really fun.” - Angel
“Art of Retreat is filled with remarkable people and the opportunity to connect with them in a fun and intimate setting is so valuable. I really enjoyed the fact that we had a free evening on the final night for us all to come together. It was so special to be able to talk with folks, relax, and work on or listen to the special projects and presentations.” - Lauren
“What I appreciated the most was all the time we had to make connections and converse with people, especially when presenters offered that time and how we carried conversations into our open time and around meals. “ - Alana
