Early Arrival Wednesday 12/6/2023:  

Stay an extra night and extend your retreat experience for $85.00.    

Includes:  

• Dinner Wednesday at a local restaurant at 6:00 PM
• Thursday continental breakfast in the retreat center's dining room.
• Lodging in the same room type - single or double - in which you will be staying for the 3 nights of the retreat.

Thursday Lunch is not included.   You are on your own for Lunch because you will probably be out and about in the area having fun and sightseeing.

This early arrival provides an opportunity to get some extra fun and fellowship in, and then do whatever you want to do in the local area during the day on Thursday, before the retreat weekend gets underway. The Retreat officially starts at 5:00 PM on Thursday 12/7/2023. 

Over the past 4 years, over 20 persons (each year) have arrived early and had a very enjoyable time together!   Dinner out was memorable and fun!
