[YL] Re: Retreat Information [DIGEST]

[Monica Biswas]

Hello to all-
In response to Keith's message about good locations for an overnight 
retreats, there are six recommendations from members of the YouthLearn 
list digested below. 

In 2002, YouthLearn and our colleagues at the America Connects Consortium 
planned an overnight retreat with our Young Leaders program, bringing 
together youth and adult coaches from CTCs around the country for a 
leadership training.  It was held at the 4-H Center in Chevy Chase 
Maryland.  We found it to be a very pleasant environment for a youth 
retreat--  there was a lovely green lawn area outside the main building, 
and they have a game room that was quite popular during breaks!  And 
though we had a cozy group of 36 participants, I believe the center can 
house hundreds.  Hope this helps. 

Best of luck to you, Keith!

Hi Keith,

Madison Square Boys & Girls Club has a great 120-acre camp facility in 
Kingston, NY.  Camp Madison is a great rustic place for a retreat 
-especially if you want hiking, low-ropes course, swimming pool, 
multi-purpose cabins, a lodge, tennis courts, fields, trails, a lake and 
many other great perks!...

Let me know if this suits you.

Regards,

Emilio De Torre

The beaches area in Delaware is terrific for retreats. Hotel cost is 
reasonable on the off season and several hotels can accomodate that 
number. Call or email Rehoboth Beach Tourism.

I have organized a few at the Airlee House in Warrenton, VA and really 
enjoyed it there.  I have also heard of good things about an Aspen 
Institute retreat on the Eastern Shore in MD (?).
