This is something new to the Ultimate. Many of us have children that love to scrapbook but there are very few venues that we can scrapbook with our kids. While the regular retreat is going on in the Main Lodge (enjoying grownup entertainment and conversations), the moms & kids will be scrapping in a separate lodge, where we will offer kid friendly scrap breaks and movies! Cost is $460 per Mom & Child pair.
Please note: all our regularly scheduled retreats are ADULTS ONLY. (with the exception of non-mobile infants) If you are booked into a regular retreat on the same weekend as a Mom & Me retreat, you will NOT be scrapbooking with the kids. The Mom & Me retreat is located in a separate building. The only mingling of the groups would be in the dining room during meal times, and shopping in the store with adult supervision.
When are your Mom & Me retreats?
See dates in the sidebar. The next one is May 2012.
What age do you recommend?
We don't have age restrictions, so its up to you whether your child is up for a weekend of scrapbooking, unfamiliar places, new people and larger groups. They would have to be interested in scrapbooking and have some experience, and for your enjoyment it would be nice if they could work independently much of the time. Between ages 9-13 seems to be optimal. You know your child best.
Please note that in addition to the adult retreat in the main lodge, there are often other groups using different parts of the camp at the same time. Our junior scrappers must be respectful of their spaces and activities at all times.
Do I have to be a Mom? Can I bring my niece, cousin, grandchild, neighbour, etc?
You can bring any child who loves scrapbooking and would enjoy spending the weekend with you! You are responsible for their supervision, behaviour and personal care at all times.
I have more than one kid. What would the price be?
Please contact Heather directly at ultimatescrapbook@gmail.com for additional pricing options.
I don't know if my child can scrapbook all day long. Are there opportunities for breaks?
Absolutely! There will be family-oriented movies and activities throughout the weekend. There are additional gathering/lounging areas in the cabin. And depending on the weather and availability, we can enjoy time outdoors in the camp. At the beginning of the weekend we will define the areas of the camp we are permitted to explore, and the areas that are out of bounds.
What's the rooming situation?
All rooms in the cabin have 2 single beds, and 4 sleeping rooms share 2 bathrooms on the same floor.
What's the meal situation?
All meals from Friday dinner to Sunday brunch are included, plus snacks & beverages. Meals are served buffet-style in the dining hall attached to the main retreat. Family scrappers and adult scrappers will mingle at meal times.

Fall Dates to be announced late in 2011
Hello Fellow Ultimate Retreat Scrapbookers,
After you have chosen a date, please email me at ultimatescrapbook@gmail.com with your reservation request. Then I will let you know if you have a spot based on the order of emails received. I will send you a registration form at that time.
If you get a spot you will have 2 weeks to get a deposit mailed to me to hold that spot. Deposits are $100 for 3-day retreats and $120 for 4-day retreats. The remaining balance will be due 2 months prior to the actual retreat.
Deposits are non-refundable but are transferable to a future retreat date, and only with at least one month's notice AND if I can fill your sport.
For all of the retreats we have access to the main lodge (32 spots) and for some dates the upper lodge (20 spots). The upper lodge is nice for larger groups but we can put a few smaller groups there as well.

Frequently Asked Questions - Deposits & Payments
Is a deposit required?
Yes, a $100 deposit is required at the time of registration. Your deposit is the ONLY way to guarantee your spot. Even if you are registering a year in advance, your deposit is necessary to hold your spot.
Is my deposit refundable? Deposits are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend you may transfer your spot to another person and they can reimburse you for the deposit amount. Or, if we are able to fill 100% of the spots for that event, you will receive a credit for your deposit which you can apply towards a future event. We do our best to fill every spot, however we offer no guarantees that this is possible.
Why do you need deposits so far in advance? The Ultimate Retreats are in big demand and spaces are very limited. Waiting lists are long. If you are serious about attending an event then a small deposit is not a big deal.
In the past we have experienced people putting their name on the list for multiple events, and then dropping out of circulation. It takes time to track people down and get them to commit to a date and get their payments in on time. $100 is enough of a reminder for most people.
Also, we have had experiences with people dropping out at the last minute, which in turn doesn't give us enough time to fill the spots, nor does it give people on the waiting list adequate notice. Waiting list people will take their names off the list or make other plans, only to be disappointed when they find out that they could have gone afterall. We would like to make as many scrappers happy as possible!
We are everyday scrappers just like you, and this is a hobby that has become a part-time business venture. What began as a favour for friends has grown so much bigger. In order to make every event succesful we must treat it like the business that it has become. And that means putting a hefty deposit down for the facility in advance. Your deposits ensure that our deposit is in full and on time.
If you have any other questions about payment and deposits, please email us at ultimatescrapbook@gmail.com and put "payment questions" in the subject line.

Great News!
There is now space available at some previously sold out retreats in 2009.
The new "Upper Lodge" has been completed, and it has room for up to 12 more people to sleep and scrap. The new lodge is right next door to the existing scrapping space in the main lodge. The Upper Lodge is ideal for 1 or more small groups who'd like a quieter experience. We'll all dine together in the main lodge.
If you're registered for a 2009 date or on a waiting list, you'll be hearing from Heather shortly with all the details.
To register for any dates (or to be added to a waiting list) please email Heather at ultimatescrapbook@gmail.com. Please allow 2-3 business days for a reply.
