The Writers Retreat wasn’t just a getaway, it was a transformative space where I tapped into clarity, creativity, and the power of focused intention. Surrounded by supportive peers and the peaceful beauty of Camp Capers, I finally gave my ideas the room they deserved to grow and unfold. This kind of immersion isn’t just about writing, it’s about becoming the author of your own breakthrough.
Every participant gets their own room. Each room has two queen-size beds and a private bath; guest linens are provided. A deck and porch wrap around, providing a scenic overlook of Camp Capers.
Our main place for gathering as a group where we can all sit and really get some good writing done is Steves Hall. Steves Hall features a kitchen, fireplace, conference room, and a large open space. You also are welcome to explore the grounds and write amongst nature.
