Setting up a retreat for you and your friends allows you to customize the type of atmosphere you want. How many people, how much space you want to provide for each of your friends to crop and what type of tools you have to share. When planning know how much you want to spend per person.
Location for your size group will be important. Will the location meet your groups needs. Are there enough rooms, beds and restrooms to accommodate your group. Are there ameneties that apeal to everyone? Does driving distance matter? If your crafting how much workspace do you want for each person? Are the chairs comfortable?
Meals and Snacks always make a great party. Do you want space that will allow you to set up meals in the crop room or just snacks? Would you like another quiet place for you to be able to escape and have a nice meal? Is a retreat for you and your friends a place you would like to be pampered and enjoy a home cooked buffet or meal? Meals can be easily planned by everyone and brought to the location. We often ask each person to contribute to one meal during our retreat. Another way is making a Costco or Sam's Club run and having everyone chip in money for food.
These are just a few of the things you need to keep in mind when hosting your own retreat. Most of all make sure that everyone helps in the planning and jobs are shared among the group.You will also want a cleaning list. This will enable everyone to have an enjoyable time and get as many pages or projects completed during your scrapbooking getaway!
