Camp Homewood Retreat

Quadra Island

For over 20 years, our Guild has hosted a getaway retreat on beautiful Quadra Island at a non-denominational bible camp, Camp Homewood.  Our retreats welcome  quilters who can immerse themselves in 4 days of fun, quilting, eating and relaxing.  For a reasonable fee we settle ourselves into camp life in accommodations ranging from shared, semi private and private rooms. Rooms are on a request basis only, subject to availability.  Included in the cost are meals and an evening snack.  One of the best perks of our retreats is the fun you have with other quilters from our Guild and unlimited time to Sew.

Retreats are held in March and October.  Check the calendar for the retreat dates.
