Where the heck is Retreat?

Our retreats for 2011/2012 will be held at:
 
Bittern Lake Hunting Lodge (BLL) 
 
Battle Lake 4H Centre (Near Westerose Alberta 1 hour south of Edmonton)
 
Camp HeHoHa Retreat Centre (Near Seba Beach 45 minutes West of Edmonton) 
 
Star of the North Retreat Centre (in St.Albert)
 
BLL is a hunting lodge and is magically transformed into a crafters get-a-way for our weekends.  BLL is only 55 minutes from Sherwood Park down Hwy 21 to Camrose. 
 
Battle Lake 4H Centre (BL4H)  is 113km SW of Edmonton and is only a 1hr 15min drive from Sherwood Park.  The Centre is large, roomy and boasts beautiful scenic views, walking trails and friendly wildlife.
 
Camp Health Hope and Happiness (HEHOHA) is a non profit camp for disabled children and adults during the summer and a hot spot for retreaters in the non summer months.  Camp HeHoHa is a quick 45minute drive from the west end of Edmonton and boasts semi private rooms all with private bathrooms, great rooms for crafting with crafting lights and a beautiful lake front scenic view.
 

 

Star of the North Retreat Centre is a peaceful oasis in the midst of a busy world. Whether you want time out from a hectic schedule, an opportunity to explore your inner crafting self, or a place to meet with friends, Star of the North may be the place for you.  All rooms have a private sink/wash area, with shared shower facilities.  All rooms are either a single twin or a single double bed.  You can also choose to have a private suite with a private bathroom. 

 
You will receive a map and explicit directions to the retreat with your confirmation of events email approximately 1-2weeks before retreat.  Guests should note that BLL is a HUNTING lodge, which means that there are a few "stuffed" animals on the walls, etc. more like the taxidermy type!
