There can be no fires, candles, or smoking in any of the buildings or on porches. You must stay off the sand dunes and, if at all, swim with a buddy. (Brrrrr!)

What to expect . . .

This   is   a   collaborative   event:   Retreaters   are   expected   to assist     with     clean-up     tasks     as     able.     Children     are encouraged   to   join   adults   to   help   keep   common   areas neat and clean. This is one way we build community.
