'''Furry Retreat''' is an annual camp-out event, held at [http://www.knightsrest.org/ Knight's Rest Retreat] in [[w:Bristow, Oklahoma|Bristow, Oklahoma]], USA. It was first held over October 23-25, 2015. The event was created by several former [[Oklacon]] volunteers and attendees, in response to said convention's cancellation.<br />
<br />
==Format==<br />
Furry Retreat is an event, rather than a [[convention]]. There are no accommodations, apart from space to set up a tent, nor any scheduled events or panels. With a small core of staff, most of the event comes to life through those who attend, creating a commune like environment.<br />
<br />
There are no event spaces at Knight's rest, nor is there any electricity available. As such, events are frequently spur of the moment affairs such as "let's go fishing" and "the gaming tent." Despite this, events such as a 45 minute rave was held, thanks to a solar panel and battery, and lighting provided by a gas generator, a fireworks show was put on, and a group was able to head to a fire range for an afternoon of target practice.<br />
<br />
==Mascot==<br />
The mascots for Furry Retreat are a red [[dragon]] named Steve and a number of [[sheep]] corresponding to the year of the convention.<br />
<br />
