Craft & Writing Retreats

Attending a craft retreat or writing retreat can be enormously rewarding and productive because of the uninterrupted time spent doing what you love … for an entire weekend! Scrapbooking retreats or quilting getaways are a perfect way to spend free time with your friends. Writing retreats enable writers to focus intensely and support each other's efforts. The right atmosphere for learning is crucial for success. Helping people learn a new skill or improve their craft is a gift of a lifetime.

Attending a writing retreat, painting retreat, scrapbook retreat or quilting retreat, provides creative inspiration, plenty of room to spread out, and affordable accommodations to get away with your group.

Retreat Central was the best idea we had all year. We got away, our ideas were fresh, and we came away excited.

Ideas for Craft and Writing Retreats

  • Come with an idea for your scrapbook or quilt theme … or let nature be your inspiration. The new setting may spark a flurry of creative brainstorming.
  • Bring a camera. You will want to capture this adventure to scrap about later!
  • The fresh air of our facilities is also a great muse for painting groups. Set up in the morning light to capture a placid landscape.
  • Place writing tables throughout the retreat center for people to have various locations to work.
