It's Almost Time!

Only 3 more days until the retreat and I can't wait! Directions to Camp Fellowship are below. Once you turn into Camp Fellowship, just follow the road to the end (maybe 1/4 mile) Our building is on the left. It's the only real obvious place to stop. There is a nice sized parking lot, can't miss it! Check in is at 2:00 pm on Friday. We need to be packed up and out of our rooms by 12:00pm on Sunday, but then we can go to lunch.

Plan ahead to bring everything you need for scrapping, paper, adhesive, etc. Here is a coupon for A.C. Moore if you need one. It is good through Saturday. Also, there is a Walmart and a scrapbook store called Two Old Bags located about 20 minutes away from Camp Fellowhip if there are any adhesive/paper emergencies, etc. The directions are below.

Here is a checklist of things to bring:

  • Breakfast food – lunch and dinner will be provided. Breakfast is not. There is a microwave, full sized refrigerator and coffee maker available for our use. (We will supply the coffee, but you might want to bring your own sweeteners if you are particular like me. I only use sugar free hazelnut creamer, or no coffee for me!)
  • Snack items and drinks (No alcoholic beverages allowed on the premises)
  • Cup with a lid
  • Desk lamp (the room is pretty well lit by skylights, but if it is overcast you may want extra light)
  • Seat cushion
  • Extra bed pillow/towel
  • Extra adhesive and paper (don't forget your photos! Hey, it HAS happened...more than once!)
  • Flashlight
  • Umbrella
  • Favorite cd
  • Socks or slippers
  • Toiletries

If you have any new items that you bought and then decided you didn’t need, and would like to donate for a prize that would be great. We will have a prize area set up. If there is anything else you need to know, leave a comment. See you in 3 days! Yay!
