Cost and Dates

The cost is $165 for the morning of Friday, October 2 to Sunday, October 4, 2026 at 3:00 pm.

You can plan an early arrival for Thursday, September 25 for an additional $30. The doors open at 8:00 pm. If you use this option, the Retreat Center provides local teens to carry in your equipment, food, and personal items. This is a great option as it gets you ready to start early Friday morning with all your equipment in place.

Food

A continental breakfast is provided by Creative Passions (orange juice, cereals, bagels, coffee). Some of us bring things to add to that selection such as fruit, baked good, and healthier bread choices. We will organize lunch and dinner for those who don’t bring their own meals for a nominal cost and volunteer kitchen work.

We will organize lunch and dinner on a potluck app.

• Roberta will send a link to this app to attendees in the Spring.  Participants will be able to see what other people are bringing and add to the menu.
• There is a section for participants to post any food allergies. Persons with significant food allergies or who may be on special diets may choose to bring their own food. 
• Folks who think that cooking at a retreat is the last thing they want to do, may sign up for dishwasher loading/unloading.
• Another option is to check out the restaurants in the area. Menus are available at the retreat center if you would rather to go out or arrange for take-away. 

People with food allergies or food/drink preferences are encouraged to bring their own. There is an entire separate bar/kitchen area for snacks and drinks that is also available all day. Bring snacks and drinks to share, if you wish.
