If you have any questions about the retreat, please review the frequently asked questions below.
1. What is your refund policy?
We will be able to refund the price of accommodations or retreat registration until October 31, 2017, but you will be charged a $25 administrative fee. If you wish to sell or give your ticket to someone who would like to take your place, you are welcome to do so. If you choose this option, please send the name and contact information of the new attendee to inalargeroomretreat@gmail.com. Any change in registration or accommodations will result in a $25 administrative fee.

2. Someone else in my family (not my spouse) helps homeschool my children. Can they purchase the spouse option for retreat registration?
No, they cannot. The special rate for spouses relates to a strong desire and vision by our retreat team to fold fathers, especially, into our home schools. The price is set low in order to persuade husbands to attend with their wives to learn more about a Charlotte Mason education.

3. One of my roommates dropped out of my hotel-style room. What happens now?
Due to the accommodations pricing set by Pearlstone, if a room drops in occupancy, the remaining occupants will need to pay the difference in room costs. Another option is to find someone to take the space of the person who needed to drop out. The person who drops out of the room will be charged a $25 administrative fee. Please contact us with any roommate changes.

5. Where should I stay if I am bringing along an infant?
Hotel-Style Rooms: The most private rooming options are the hotel-style guest rooms. You and your infant can sign up with another attendee as your roommate on the accommodations page here. If you wish to purchase a hotel-style room at single occupancy for just yourself and your baby, you can do so for $430 (for 2 nights and all meals). Contact us directly at inalargeroomretreat@gmail.com if you want this option. We reserve this opportunity just for nursing moms.
Commuter Option: We are also providing the option for 50 attendees to purchase a commuter accommodations package. These attendees will join us for the retreat and return home at night. Click here for the commuter package.
