Activities and Facilitators for Retreat Activities
Guests “Customize” their choices for their retreat at “The Rivery Retreat”
Choose types of activities you would like with surveys below. These will be sent to us to coordinate and then we will get back to you with approximate pricing. We customize your preferences, arrange schedules, coordinate all meals & activities! For: 4, 6, or 8 night stays with retreat activities, cost range will vary.
For the “full days” of your stay, (all days not arriving or departing) choose to include:
- 4-6 activities for 4 night stays,
- 6-8 activities for 6 night stays, and
- 8-10 activities for the longest retreat stay of 7-8 nights.
Please choose 2-3 more per every 2 full days, as backups for best scheduling. Include your groups preferences for Day trips, or longer activities such as hiking, performances, longer events, and be sure to include your/your groups preferences and choices with the surveys for some meals.
NOTE: Range of pricing is based on activities and meals chosen. But these are of course divided amongst your group, so overall very competitively and affordably priced! IMPORTANT to NOTE also: We will always do our best to adhere to your first choices, but guests agree with booking to be somewhat flexible as alternative activities within your level or type of retreat may on occasion be substituted.
Don’t have a group?
Let us create and schedule one for you w/ other retreaters who choose similar activities and levels of activities. *Simply fill out the surveys below, for retreating individually and we’ll group you with others and get back to you with dates to choose from!
NOTE: When submitting as an individual (not with a pre-arranged group), rates will be a bit higher for smaller groups, and dates and scheduling may be more difficult to arrange and schedule with other like minding retreaters, so we ask that you be flexible and open to trying a few other activities than your 1st choices. Be sure to have a few back up choices and pay close attention to the “Type” of retreat you choose. We’ll do our best to coordinate a FABULOUS RETREAT with your choices!
NOTE: Individuals not submitting with a group, & wanting to be included with other solo retreaters in a group, are aware that accommodations are shared, with no “private rooms” and will be accommodated with either the Luxury Guesthouse Cabin OR the Cozy Poolside Suite, sharing both bed/bathroom facilities. Bedding is strictly first come, first serve for choices in bedding as available. Guests arriving first (at or after check in timeframe) will choose their bed and maintain for duration of stay. Cleaning is per stay not per day, so guests are asked to be respectful of other with their clean and tidy habits!
Consult with your group and/or choose:
It’s fine to have varying ages within your group. Just let us know if level of activities needs to vary for some of you and how!
Please discuss with group or let us know individually on types of meals, dietary restrictions, allergies, and types of meals or catering based on low to higher budget, so that we may do our best to accommodate accordingly We’ll arrange the rest based on availability and type of retreat you choose. Please feel free to add any info you’d like us to consider about your group.
NOTE: Personal Chef meals must be paid separately from your cost of stay and cost of activities. All group guests will pay directly to Chefs chosen by us to coordinate w/ your details, and will initially pay a non-refundable deposit to hold the dates/times of meals. *Catering and Family Style meals will typically be lowest overall rates, and guests are also welcome to choose from our “Add-On Baskets” (see menu bar in website) to supplement with snacks, appetizers, and/or “Breakfast Breads” or “Fixin’s” for breakfast Baskets for the number of persons in your group!
NOTE: Guests are responsible for any/all meals not pre-paid and arranged ahead with this system, and there are a variety of excellent restaurants for dining in, carry out, and even some delivery, but these must be arranged around the pre-designated schedule of activities w/ your own transportation.

Costs for retreat activities:
For Retreat activities, guests will pay a deposit on the total, this is an “Admin Fee for Coordinating & Scheduling” based on initial choices of activities. We will let you know asap after reviewing your choices, the deposit or down payment for your activities.
NOTE: This may change a bit a few days prior to your arrival for payment adjustment (to be a little more or less) depending upon availability of facilitators or chefs. Roughly deposits will be about 1/3 of your total on activities-depending on your choices. Approximately: $850. (4 Night stays), $1150. (6 Night stays), $1650. and up for longer stays (7-8 Nights). Deposits are paid up front and then we do the rest! These deposits are non-refundable as they are for coordinating and scheduling as well as holding the time slots for all facilitators. Remainder amounts due on activities will be paid at least 2 weeks prior to arrival, and must be completed timely or some activities may be forfeited without refund.
Facilitator Fees for Activities, presentations, performances:
Rates per-range from $125.-$525. and up, depending upon the type and length of activity. 1-2 hrs vs outside facilities w/ group discounts and own transportation, Day trips w/ vans, and/or performances.
Personal Chef catering and meals as chosen and coordinated for your stay will be billed separately with costs and rates set by Chef assigned & based on details of group size and menus/fare chosen.
*Guest will pay the coordination/scheduling fee initially with amount for activities deposit, and then a non-refundable deposit will be established with Chef/s for payment to be made directly to each Chef, once we have arranged scheduling (to hold their schedule), and then remainder will be due at least 1-2 weeks prior to arrival or that activity will be forfeited. This ensures smooth scheduling and to be fair to our facilitators and chefs who are arranging their schedules in advance for you!
