17 Days 'Till The 2024 Samson Society Summit
The 2023 Summit was a dud (despite it being hailed as a celebratory tenth anniversary milestone event). The venue was completely (laughably) out of scale for us +/-250 perverts. Plus, it was incredibly posh (by Samson Summit standards). You could sense that generations of rich white Texas families had poured millions of dollars into this (rich, white kid summer camp) facility there in east Texas. Why anyone felt it a worthwhile fit for a Samson Society weekend retreat, I have no clue.
The pristine buildings (meeting space, cafeteria, bunkhouses) were spread far, far apart, and like much of Texas, the landscaping (trees) was not prolific. Hence, there was an abundance of "wide open space(s)" between buildings which only exacerbated the sense of over / out-of-scale. To summarize, the retreat, to me, was filled with entirely too much necessitated traversing back & forth, back & forth from building to building to building due to the college-campus scaled venue.
