How much does the retreat cost?
The 2024 tuition includes all retreat events, including the opening night party and Sunday farewell cookout, but not lodging or meals.
Tuition, $275, is due at the time of enrollment. You must also select a lodging package (or no lodging package) when you enroll so that we can reserve a room for you. Only a limited number of lodge rooms are available.
What about lodging and dining?
The most convenient place to stay is at Lost Lake Woods Club Lodge, where all retreat events will be held. But there is no requirement to stay there; even if you do not stay at the lodge, you may buy meals there.
A lodging and meal package is available at the lodge. Should you have food challenges that make it better for you to supply your own meals, a room-only package can be arranged. Call Inspiration Alcona at 989-736-3000 or email [email protected] to set this up.
The Lost Lake Woods Club restaurants, the Five Lakes Grill and the Lost Lure Lounge, will be open for all meals during the retreat, but dinner is not included in any package because we hope that participants will go out to see a bit more of Alcona County while they are at the retreat. Restaurant recommendations are available, whether you stay at Lost Lake or not.
