CAMP FRIEDENSWALD Map
Well I'm computer challenged and can't seem to figure out how to put a copy of the camp map onto this blog. sigh. My IT guy tried to explain it but I think he noticed the glazed eye look I was giving him and he walked away...
So...here is a link (I can do links! Thank you Facebook) to the camp map! It's really easy to get to the dining hall. http://www.friedenswald.org/documents/CampMap02.pdf

ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT!
The count down is on! Only four more days until the Spring Retreat!! I AM SO READY TO SCRAPBOOK!
I will be leaving Minnesota on Thursday, March 17th and driving directly to Michigan. If you need to contact me please do so before Thursday!
You can arrive at Camp Friedenswald at 2:00 pm on Friday, March 18th. This year we will be in the Dining Hall for scrapbooking and the Guesthouses for lodging. Just follow the signs and drive back to the main part of the camp. Check in at the dining hall to receive your room assignments.
Supper on Friday evening will be at 6:00 pm. IF YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO MAKE IT FOR SUPPER (Or any meal) PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!
Here is a list of meals for the rest of the weekend:
Brunch Saturday 10:30 am
Supper Saturday 5:30 pm
Light Breakfast Sunday 8:30 am
Lunch Sunday 12:30 pm
Things to bring:
Bed linens/sleeping bags/blankets
Pillow
Towels/wash cloths
Personal Items
SNACKS!
Photos
Scrapbooking Supplies
Personal Desk Light
Extension Cords
The camp will provide coffee, water and tea for drinks. If you want REAL coffee or pop you will need to bring your own supplies for the weekend!!! I WILL NOT BE PROVIDING DRINKS FOR THIS WEEKEND. Sorry.
We will have use of the camp until 4:00 pm on Sunday evening.
Directions to the camp are located in a previous post.
I know I say this before every retreat but the best thing you can do before a retreat is to PREPARE. Look through your photos, check your paper supplies and start dreaming about layouts! It makes a huge difference in the amount of work you get done at the retreat if you can prepare ahead of time. There's nothing more frustrating then sitting down to scrapbook and finding you are missing photos or that special piece of pink cardstock!! So take an hour this week and prepare your scrapbooking stuff!! A little planning now will save you time later.
I hope everyone has a safe trip and I'll see you on Friday!!

SPRING RETREAT 2011
This year we will have two accomodations for sleeping, The Modern Cabin or The Guesthouse.
The Guest House has 9 bedrooms. Each room contains 2 sets of bunk beds which sleep 4 guests. Each room also has a private bathroom! The Guesthouse is directly across the courtyard from the dining hall where we will be scrapbooking and eating.
The Modern Cabins were built 3 years ago and will sleep up to 10 people with 5 sets of bunk beds. They are spacious and very clean. Each Cabin contains its own bathroom with 2 showers, 2 toilets and 2 sinks. So you do not have to leave the cabin to find a bathroom! The Cabins are located behind the dining hall.
FEES:
The fees for the scrapbooking weekend will be based upon occupancy. So the more people you have in a room the cheaper the rate will be!
GUESTHOUSES:
4 people = $99 per person
3 people = $109 per person
2 people = $133 per person
1 person = $203 per person
CABINS:
10 people = $82 per person
9 people = $84 per person
8 people = $87 per person
7 people = $90 per person
6 people = $95 per person
5 people = $101 per person
4 people = $110 per person
3 people = $126 per person
2 people = $158 per person
1 person = $252 per person
These prices include a sleeping room for two nights, 5 meals and scrapbooking space.
I have contracted with the Camp to provide all of our meals for the weekend. They have a chef on staff that prepares the food from scratch. The camp will provide coffee, hot tea, hot cocoa and water at no additional charge. All meals will be served buffet style. If you have food issues please let me know ahead of time so I can alert the chef.
Our scrapbooking space will be in the dining hall. It is large and open with plenty of natural light during the day. We will be eating and scrapbooking in the same building. I seem to recall a lounge area with a fireplace in the building as well for those little breaks! For those of you that enjoy the outdoors there are plenty of trails for walking or running.
The retreat will open on Friday afternoon, March 18th at 2:00 pm. The retreat will end on Sunday afternoon, March 20th at 4:00 pm.
Please plan to bring your own pillow, linens and towels for the weekend.
DEADLINES & RULES:
March 1st will be the deadline for early bird registration. After March 1st add $10 to each registration.
As for payments, I realize that it is difficult to know how much you need to pay especially if you are staying in the cabins. If you are planning to sleep in the cabins send in $82, which is the 10 people plan. If we do not get the maximum amount of 10 people per cabin I will charge you the difference and it will be due upon arrival at camp. So say you pay $82 for a cabin, I only have 7 people in the cabin, you will owe me $8.
If you are planning to stay in the Guesthouse please let me know the names of your room-mates so I can be sure to group you together.
Cancellation Policy: Retreat fees will be refunded in full, minus a $25 deposit fee, until March 5, 2011. Registrations cancelled after March 5 will not be reimbursed. If you have a family emergency or become ill the weekend of the retreat please contact me immediately.
I'll be mailing out registration forms later this week. Watch for them in the mail!
