Classes
Attendees will be able to get their CEUs needed, either as lodging participants or with the Saturday-only pass. Classes for 5 CEU credits, including Ethics & Diversity, will be part of the retreat activities. Please register as soon as possible so we have enough rooms held and have a good idea of our number of participants.

Accommodations
Singles or doubles have two beds, a refrigerator, and a microwave. Food choices include vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies – nut or otherwise, and a no-restriction choice. The retreat starts Friday night with dinner and ends Sunday with lunch.

Good to Know

• Centralized location
• You choose any roommate
• Lots of personal time and comfort breaks scheduled
• Food choices: vegetarian, gluten free, allergies, and no restriction choice.
• The motel room accommodations are singles or doubles which have two beds, a refrigerator, and a microwave.

We have had some funds donated to scholarship part of the costs. For ease and convenience, we are also using the region’s payment & registration process – Breeze- which tacks on a service fee, or checks may be sent instead to not have the extra cost.

Payment
A deposit will be required to hold a registration and make sure we have enough rooms available. Deposits are due by February 16.

Final payments are due by March 16, or the amount can be paid in full when registering. March 16 is the date we must give them the number of participants. After that point, there would be a $40 charge for anyone who drops out, and if it is canceled within 72 hours of arrival, a dropped reservation would incur a one-night charge.

We have had some funds donated for scholarships for part of the costs.
