TIME:  Retreat begins Thursday, May 29 after 3 PM & ends after lunch on Sunday, June 1. 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 2025 Exchange is a stitching project bag. The bag can be purchased or handmade. If you would like to participate, please bring a project bag 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:  Double occupancy rooms (4 days/ 3-nights) are $394. Depending on the number of registrants, there may be single rooms available at a rate of $502 (4 day/3 nights). Single rooms won’t be assigned until April 15th. If you want a single room, please select the Single Occupancy option on the form and your name will be put on a "first come/first served" list. If there are any single rooms available on April 15th, one will be assigned to you.

Stitchers need to bring their own bedding and towels, although linens can be rented from Camp Huston at a cost of $20.00 for the weekend. Rented bedding includes towels, sheets, a blanket, a pillow, and pillowcase.

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 2025), COVID testing is no longer required; however, if you are experiencing symptoms of any respiratory illness or you have been exposed to someone who has recently tested positive for COVID-19, Flu or RSV, please stay home. If while attending a conference or Huston event, you experience symptoms of a respiratory illness (i.e. Covid-19, RSV, Flu symptoms) you may be asked to wear a mask for the remainder of your stay and test for Covid-19 using an antigen test provided at no charge by Camp Huston. If your test comes back positive you will be asked to go home. Full details are on the Camp Huston website: https://huston.org/huston-covid-19-information/
