The Writers Retreat was the needed space and community I needed to think and reflect. There was an environment of comfort, warmth and camaraderie that made it easy to write. I was able to relax, focus and work alongside writers doing important work.
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.
