    Nestled amid acres of coastal redwoods, madrones and tan oaks, the Sequoia Retreat Center offers a perfect setting.   Despite its proximity to 'city life' with its spectacular setting and views, you will leave feeling relaxed and refreshed.    Scrap locations will either be Las Alas or Waterfall Lodges.      

    Check-in time is from 2:00pm on Friday, and check out is 1:00pm on Sunday
    The first meal of the retreat is dinner - so you may want to arrange to stop for lunch on your way to the retreat venue - or bring a packed lunch with you.
    Check in at the Lodge - meet me! - then get your name tag and goodie bag, and locate your cabin.

    Lodging is in various cabins on the property.   All bed and bath linens are supplied.
    A minimum of three scrappers is required for each room,  unless you have paid for a double or single occupancy.   You choose your roommates!!
    Each cabin sleeps up to 4 with a private bath, with shower, sink and toilet.    Flower Cabins have two bedrooms with a shared bathroom.   Stone Cabins have decks.
    Please park in the marked areas.

    Remember that this is a fun weekend slumber party atmosphere.  You are on vacation with your girlfriends, chocolate, and very little sleep so it can be loud!    As some people are night owls and some are early birds, please try and be respectful of others sleeping habits and remember we are all there to laugh and have fun.   I am usually pretty good at names but wear your name tag everyday so you get to know others, and they get to know you
