Fall Fiber Retreat | 18 - 20 October 2013
An annual event sponsored by the Snohomish Knitters Guild. Open to everyone.
Join us for our 4th Annual Fall Fiber Retreat. Our previous three retreats have been outstanding successes and we look forward to another exciting time in 2013 at Camp Huston in Goldbar, WA, set in the beautiful foothills of the Cascade Mountains about an hour east of Seattle .
The board has come up with an idea that we think will please those of you who don't want to have the lottery system.
The rates have gone up somewhat. The cost for guild members is $160.00. Non-members will pay $170.00. Bed linens and towels will be available again for the price of $15.00, payable to the guild. Deposits will be $50.00 plus Paypal fees. We'll also take checks or cash with no added fees. Unless the retreat is cancelled, your deposit is non-refundable. It cannot be applied to any other guild event or membership fee. If something comes up and you can't attend the retreat, you should be able to sell your spot to someone else and recoup your deposit that way. We will try to assist you in selling your spot, but cannot make any guarantees.
Retreat deposits must be paid prior to 16 February 2013. The balance of your retreat payment will be due by Friday, 30 August 2013. If you are not yet a member, but would like to save at the member price, please join prior to paying your deposit.
Accommodations are two people to a room. In addition to the comfortable environment for the retreat, great hiking is available nearby at Wallace Falls. The retreat will be available to members and non-members as the event serves as outreach for the guild.
*All payments made online are subject to Paypal fees. All deposits and fees are non-refundable, unless the retreat is cancelled.

FAQs
|
Q: Where is Camp Huston?
A: Camp Huston is located in Goldbar, about a 25 minute drive from Snohomish, WA (~20 miles) down Hwy 2. Q: What type of accommodations are there? A: We will stay in the Paddock cabin (more like a dorm than a rustic cabin) at Camp Huston. It has heated rooms with two twin beds in each room. A restroom and shower serves every four rooms. Each lodge has a meeting area with a sink, microwave and refrigerator for snacks, and a fireplace or woodstove. Free Wi-Fi access. No restrictions on outside food or beverages. Q: Do I have to knit on the retreat? A: No! We have folks who lean towards other handwork joining us. This is about connecting and relaxing! Q: How do I find out who my roommate is? A: Room mates will not be assigned prior to arriving at the retreat. It worked really well to have people pair up when they arrived, so we will do that again this year. |
Q: I must eat gluten-free. Do I need to bring my own food?
A: Camp Huston can accommodate many dietary needs. Just let us know on the input form. Q: What if I cannot attend Friday night, can I come for the rest of the weekend? A: Yes! Unfortunately, there is no reduction in cost, but we’ll hold your bed. Just let us know in the comments section on the input form. Q: Will there be classes? Do I need to bring something specific for a project? A: We may pull together some mini-demos, but your time is your own and you are not required to bring or do anything other than relax! Q: Who is invited to reserve a space? A: This retreat is open to the public and we invite everyone to pay a deposit and register as space allows. If you missed the initial sign-up phase, please send email to the SKG President to be placed on the wait list. Q: Can my significant other attend with me? A: This is a crafter's weekend, therefore if your significant other knits, crochets, quilts, etc, they are welcome to attend with you. There is no gender restriction. |
