There's a lot of info on their site. July and August are when they hold the kids camps. The location is really super, I'm even wondering what kind of rate they could get for the AGM? How many people actually fly in. Driving from the Island may be slightly further but probably a much nicer drive traffic wise. I haven't driven for a while but when I was in Whistler I'd rather drive to Abbotsford than Richmond. I don't think Richmond gives a very good rate either. Anyway it would be fun to turn the AGM into a party!
There are probably about half a dozen people willing to scout so looks like we could probably do a cottage (or two) depending on what they say, no doubt if its too long to wait I'm sure Martha and Blair might check it out anyway. hahahaha like next weekend! I'm feeling like Gage right now. Too excited to think! As soon as I hear you'll hear, maybe they're busy working out a package for us.

Deb-Thank you for your enquiry about Stillwood. I actually only book one
year ahead of time so I am only booking up to Feb 2010 right now. If you
want to book for 2011 you would need to wait until 2010.
Now, if some of your committee wants to come up and have a retreat keep in
mind that I book one year ahead of time so most of 2009 is already accounted
for.
All of our accommodations have bunk beds, so it is really hard to say right
now, if I did have an opening where that may be and what accommodation
unless I knew a date. Most lodges sleep 2 – 3 per room, not using the top
bunks. Wheelchair access is available in most buildings.

*Subject:* Retreat enquiry
*Dear Carol,*
*I would like information on your facility. I belong to Templeton Stroke
Recovery, one of the 39 branches of the Stroke Recovery Association of
British Columbia. Presently I am just gathering information and not
officially acting on behalf of the association.*
*We would like to hold a retreat for stroke survivors in B. C. There was an
annual retreat in Squamish, B.C. during the Easter weekend which
unfortunately ended a couple years ago.*
*I am a stroke survivor and I have participated in a few rehabilitation
programs. None of them compare to spending less than 72 hours a year
socializing with my peers. Now that I am more able, it's my turn to try and
recreate a similar experience for others. Recreation and social activity is
the key to recovery. Motivated through fun it allows us to make the shift
into a meaningful life within our new set of circumstances. *
*Stillwoods looks like the perfect venue to suit our needs. Additionally
there is room to grow as our population ages and an increasing number of
brain attacks occur. *
*Ideally we would like to fill one of your Lodges. Accessibility and funds
are the main concerns. *
*What would be the capacity of each Lodge excluding bunk beds?*
*Is there wheelchair access to all locations? How many accessible bedrooms?*
*Please send me information including meals, * *programs, and various rates
for high and low seasons. The original plans were find a place to host a
retreat for 2011. However, in the near future we probably have a couple of
scouts wanting to spend a night or two and/or a small group wanting to stay
in the cottages.*
*The pictures on the website look awesome and we are very interested in
going there. We are open to any suggestions suitable for our needs.*
*Email is best or mail to:*
