2024 Retreat
May 30 - June 2, 2024
Huston Camp & Conference Center, Gold Bar, WA

"Home is Where the Heart Is."

TIME:  Retreat begins Thursday, May 30 after 4 PM & ends Sunday, June 2 by 2 PM. You will be registered for 3 nights, but are not obligated to stay all of them. We have 32 rooms available which can accommodate 64 people, 2 to a room.

EXCHANGE:  The 2024 Exchange will be a charm exchange. If you would like to participate, please bring a charm wrapped in a bag or box and check in with Sue or Debby when you arrive.

SHOW N TELL:  Please be sure to bring stitching projects you’ve finished since our last retreat to share with others during Show ‘n Tell.

ACCOMMODATIONS AND LOCALE:  Camp Huston's covered walkways and the single level floor plan throughout make getting around very easy. Lodge layouts are such that eight people share one large bathroom (2 sinks, 2 toilets, 1 shower). All lodges have a common area with complete kitchen facilities and comfortable seating. There's adequate parking very close to housing.

Many of us take a break from stitching to enjoy a hike in the beautiful forest or to climb to the top of nearby Wallace Falls, while others go shopping in nearby Gold Bar.

STITCHING ROOM:  The stitching room is large and well-lit, and your supplies can be left there safely all weekend. It's open 24 hours – so LOTS of stitching time!

SHOPPING:  There will be shopping opportunities as well as a “Trash to Treasure” room.

HOUSING:  Rooms are DOUBLE occupancy with twin beds. We may have a handful of single rooms available at a higher rate. See the registration form for details.

Please note your preferred roommate on your registration form. If you do not indicate someone, a roommate will be assigned for you. Roommates must indicate each other and be paid if full before the room is assigned.

MEALS:  Meals are served “family style” in Curtis Lodge. Great care is taken at Camp Huston to accommodate those with dietary needs. The registration form has space to indicate your special needs.

COVID Precautions: We will abide by the Camp’s policies at a minimum. At this time (January 2024), masking is optional but encouraged indoors. All guests must show a negative COVID test taken within 6 hours of arrival. Photos of your test are acceptable. Details are on the Camp Huston website:
https://huston.org/huston-covid-19-information/

COST:  The attendee must be a member in good standing at the time both of registration and the event.

Double occupancy: $370
Single occupancy: $475
LINENS (optional, rented from the camp): additional $20.00 per person. Includes towels, sheets, a blanket, a pillow and pillowcase.
