Join IOWA at the beautiful Wildwood Hills Ranch in St. Charles, Iowa for our third retreat - Disconnect, to Reconnect.
What your ticket includes:
- Overnight ticket: Your own bed & space (some of the twin beds are in open lofts, most beds are in rooms) for both Friday and Saturday nights. If you're only able to stay one night that's just fine - but since there is no sheet changing service the bed is allocated to one person for the entire retreat. All meals included (Friday supper, Saturday x 3, Sunday breakfast). Bathrooms are either private or shared with one person - see ticket types for more details.
- Day ticket: Student tickets include lunch; regular day tickets include both lunch and dinner. Both types include the ability to attend all activities on Saturday. If a student would like to join us for dinner, email christinat@watsonpc.com to make arrangements.
