Camp Retreats have been held in the past at Camp Hammer in the Santa Cruz Hills. I am always looking for other locations that everyone will like.
We have been researching lodges in the Twain Harte area for some upcoming getaways. How do we find roommates? TOP
Just let me know that you are interested in sharing a room. I will contact other people attending the weekend for you and see who else is willing to share. I do my best to match personalities. How do I book my room? TOP
Your room is included with the cost of the retreat. You do not have to worry about booking your room. What is the refund and payment policy? TOP
There is no refund policy. If there is a waiting list for the retreat you are signed up for, you will get a credit for the amount you paid and you can use that for another retreat and someone will move up from the waiting list. You are also welcome to “Sell your spot” to someone you know. Can we bring alcohol? TOP
Alcohol can be brought to the Marriott Courtyard retreats and the Twain Harte Getaways . Camp Hammer does not allow it. Are there products to purchase at the Retreats? TOP
Yes! There are products available at the scrapbooking retreats to purchase at the retreats. We are currently researching vendors for our quilt retreats. What if I just want to come and scrapbook and not sleep over at the hotel? TOP
There are usually a couple “Day Crop Only” spots. However, since we have a contract with the hotel, and need to fill a minimum amount of rooms; people who book a room have priority over “Day Crop Only” spots.
However, you can scrapbook ALL NIGHT LONG! It is nice to not have to worry about driving and you can take a nap anytime!
