Please contact Peggy Prekop at jpprekop@gmail.com, or 262-781-0338 with any questions.

I am happy to say that we have filled all of the suites for the retreat!!! You should have received a confirmation on your room reservations this past week. (Thank you Nicole Balza for taking care of  the confirmations.) Please let us know if there are any errors or changes. If your suite is not full and you'd like to add people in the future, they are very welcome to join us! They just need to turn in a registration form and their $30.00 registration fee. I have extra forms if needed. We are so blessed and look forward to seeing all of you at the retreat!

The date for the down payment deadline has been extended to June 27th. We have 2 suites we still need to fill so we can make the most of the wonderful speakers we are blessed to have presenting to us!!! Get your reservations in ASAP!

Registration/Reservations

Hotel Reservations

Rooms will be reserved through Pilgrim Lutheran to make it possible to receive them tax free. You will need to fill out the room reservation form in the retreat brochure. Copies of the brochure will be in the narthex by Sunday April 15^th. Please see room rates listed here on our blog. Room choice will be on a first come first served basis. In order to receive the reduced resort rates, all retreat participants are required to stay at the Wave Pointe Resort.

Registration fees

 There will be a $30.00 registration fee per person to cover the cost of speakers, entertainment, and other expenses.

Registration deadline

 The hotel requires half down by the beginning of June because we are reserving the entire resort for our group. Registration fees and half down on the resort reservations will be due by May 30^th. Full refunds will be issued for cancellations received through Aug.1, 2012. Cancellations received Aug.2 through Oct. 1 will be issued a full refund minus a $30.00 cancellation fee. The remainder of your resort reservation fee will be due by Sept. 1, 2012.

 

General Information on Retreat

Meals

One of the reasons the Wave Pointe Resort was chosen for our retreat was to cut down on cost for our participants. Each suite is equipped with at least one or more kitchens, which allows you the option to bring food to eat in your room rather than dining out, and will save the added cost of catered food for the retreat. The Wave Pointe is opening its restaurant especially for us Saturday noon to take care of your lunch. You will have the freedom to dine in your room or eat at a restaurant for all of your other meals. The Wave Pointe restaurant will be open both Friday and Saturday evenings. There are many other places to eat in Sturgeon Bay, which is about 15 minutes away.

Roommates

All of the suites at the resort are equipped with 2 separate bedrooms with either queen or king sized beds, 2 to 2 and ½ baths, and the option of 1 or 2 people sleeping on a sofa sleeper. If you have a friend you would like to stay with and need to find more people to fill a suite, just let us know, we’ll be happy to try to find you suite mates. The more the merrier and the cheaper the suite!
