We get to enjoy up to 4 days and 3 nights of no cooking, no cleaning, just lots of sewing and fun. Let’s call it what it is – adult sleepaway camp in all the best ways! Big news – we’ve added a bunch of new options including 3 days/2 nights and day use so you can create the retreat that suits you best!
