Retreat Registration and Payment Guidelines:
- The 2025 retreat sign-up period will begin now and run through our August 13th guild meeting. The Feather Princesses who want to attend the Retreat may sign-up and pay at our guild meetings or via mail (mailing address TBA).
- The cost to attend the Retreat is: $ 480/person – double room | $580 – single/private room
- Print the 2025 Feather Princesses Retreat Registration Form (see Retreat Documents below) and fill it out in its entirety, including the name of your roommate (if applicable). If you do not choose a roommate, one will be assigned to you. NO CHANGES to roommates will be made after our August guild meeting. Forms may be completed using your computer and then printed for submission.
- Please bring your completed registration form and first payment to a guild meeting. We will provide detailed mailing address options for forms and payments as soon as possible. Until a retreat committee chair is announced, payments can be submitted to our Treasurer, Michelle Barry.
- Princesses may make payments (by credit/debit card, cash, or check) at our guild meetings. If you write a check, please make payable to The Feather Princesses, and write “Retreat” on the memo line of the check.
- All payments may be made either in full or in incremental payments of no less than $50 at any time.
Cancellation and Refund Policies:
- If a Feather Princesses member pays to attend the retreat and then cancels (for any reason) before the August guild meeting deadline, that member will receive a full refund from the Feather Princesses Guild.
- If a Feather Princesses member pays to attend the retreat and then cancels (for any reason) after the August guild meeting deadline, that member will be responsible for finding a replacement or forfeit the payment. The Feather Princesses Guild will not be able to give refunds after the August guild meeting. Lake Yale requires us to confirm the final retreat headcount and make a substantial payment to reflect that count in August. And they confirmed we will not be able to change our reservations after the August deadline.
- In the unlikely event that Lake Yale cancels our retreat for any reason, Lake Yale will refund the deposit and payments we made (for our 2025 Retreat) to our guild.
