Dry Creek Baptist Camp Retreat Rates & Information The Process First, get in touch with us to check if your retreat dates are available. We can accommodate more than one retreat group at once, but lodging and other facilities are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We’ll talk through your needs and send you a contract. A $400 deposit must be returned with your completed contract to reserve your dates for any retreat. This deposit is non- refundable within 3 months of your retreat and will be deducted from the total bill if all facilities are left clean and in good order. For the Adult Conference Center, the deposit is non-transferrable within 2 months of the retreat. A retreat schedule is required at least two weeks before your retreat (meal times, recreation areas needed, retreat activities, etc). A final number of guests must be given to us five business days before the retreat. This number will determine the payment for the first meal. After the first meal, the group will pay for actual numbers, which must be at least 80% of the final number given. The balance of retreat cost must be paid during your retreat, unless prior arrangements have been made. The Basic Retreat The basic retreat package consists of one night's lodging and 3 buffet-style meals. The cost will be determined by the type of accommodations, the number of people, etc. Generally there is a 20 person minimum to reserve a retreat. The only exception to this minimum is if you are reserving cabin- or dorm-style lodging for your retreat and another group has already booked the same weekend. In addition to lodging and three meals, your retreat fees include use of recreation areas, a meeting room, any equipment needed for meetings, coffee, ice, campfire, and hayride. Use of the ropes course or pool will require additional fees. Groups can cook their own meal or meals, using the Back Porch, our outdoor kitchen. If our dining hall kitchen is used for any purpose, one of our kitchen staff must be on site at $8.00 per hour. Sunday breakfast can be no later than 8:00 am and Sunday lunch can be no earlier than 12:00 pm.
