A note about kids:

NEW POLICY ON ALCOHOL
Our survey
from
2005, showed that the majority of
participants would like to have wine and beer at the appetizer hour, so
this
will be permitted. Please follow these ground rules:
-- You may bring your
own wine or beer only. It is to
be consumed only during
the appetizer hour.
-- During the rest of
weekend,
all bottles should be kept in your
locked car. Before going into dinner on Saturday night, take your
bottles back
to your locked car.
-- No one under the age
of 21 may have beer or wine, even
if they are allowed to do so at home.
Rooms:
We charge by
the room,
which means that single adults who are willing to share a room can
share the
cost of the room, and save themselves some money. If you plan to share
a room,
please explain on your sign-up sheet so we can keep an accurate room
count.
We have reserved the
Quillen and Underwood buildings to provide sleeping quarters. The high
school
students bunk together in the loft above Quillen. No one
under or over high
school age may sleep in the loft. (Quillen is the main
building which also
has the kitchen and dining room.)
Quillen has 4 beds (2
sets of bunkbeds,) in most rooms,
with 6 beds in a couple rooms (reserved for large families.) Most rooms
in
Underwood have 3 beds. Anyone with small children gets a preference on
Quillen;
anyone who has difficulty with stairs gets a preference on Underwood.
Camping:
There is a
lovely camping
area in a picturesque picnic grove a very short walk down the road. You must provide your own
tent or camper.
Other Options:
If you prefer
bigger beds or more privacy, or if our
rooms fill up, nearby accommodations are:
Christina’s
B&B: (207)
282-7483
Saco Motel: (207)
284-6952
Cleaning Service Back
by
Polular Demand
Our survey
showed most people wanted to continue hiring
a cleaning service for the final cleanup, so it shall be done!
Last
year, we filled every room, so register
early to ensure your spot!
If you need financial
assistance, speak to Carol Hess as
soon as possible so we can mark you down as paid and reserve your place.
How
Much
Does It Cost?
To make
things as fair as possible, we have
divided the charges between sleeping accommodations (bedroom or
camping) and
“facility” fees (use of kitchen, auditorium, and
beach) with the idea that
campers shoulder an equal share of facility costs. We have to rent the
facilities for two nights, so we must charge for two nights of
accommodations
even if you are not arriving until Saturday.
There will be a
discount
available to those who pay in full prior to June 15th (the last regular
worship
service before summer).
You
may register
at church any Sunday between May 6th and June 15th, or mail your
registration.
