The Ultimate Crafting Retreats are known for the great food, gorgeous surroundings, comfortable accommodations and generous crafting space. 

What sets Koerner Lodge and the Johnston Cabins at Loon Lake apart from other retreat facilities is that these are corporate facilities, designed for grownups, with grownup food, individual bathrooms (not communal), and real linens on real beds (not musty bunkbeds) in semi-private rooms (not dorms). You're welcome to bring your grownup beverages (they even provide us with a giant refrigerator for our drinks and snacks)

Besides the freedom to spread out and craft around the clock, there are other optional activities available to enhance your weekend experience.

We have occasional games, challenges and giveaways throughout the weekend long, but we don't constantly interrupt your concentration. Participation is always optional. And who doesn't like to win stuff?

Lisa is our RMT and offers relaxation therapeutic massage, hot stone hydrotherapy, deep tissue treatments, trigger point release therapy, myofascial connective tissue treatments, and so much more.
Lisa's treatments are amazing and she loves to help us enhance our creativity!!

Vanessa provides pedicures, manicures, hand and foot treatments & facials. She also brings an amazing energy to our retreat!!

At some retreats we offer scrapbooking and/or card making classes.

Loon Lake has walking trails, swimming and canoeing.

Both lodges/cabins have cozy gathering areas with fireplaces.

Many people comment on how comfortable the beds are and how well they sleep!  And then there are those that choose not to sleep at all.

Custom menu options are available for those with food allergies/intolerances. Please let us know in advance.

You don't have to be a scrapbooker!  All crafters are welcome!

The latest scrapbook trend...pocket page layouts & Project Life

Pocket Page Scrapbooking & Project Life 

It's a trend that has taken a firm hold in the scrapbooking world, and if you choose to embrace it, it can revolutionize the way you preserve your memories.  If keeping a chronological scrapbook of your life on a yearly basis is a priority, but you don't have time to make detailed 12x24 layouts of every event, you MUST learn more about....

Pocket page scrapbooking is the generic term for Project Life by Becky Higgins.  While you'll hear  the phrase "Project Life" tossed around while describing the method and materials, you are not limited to just the Project Life brand.  MANY top manufacturers are now making "pocket friendly" cards and embellishments.  Simple Stories, Echo Park, Elle's Studio, My Mind's Eye, Close To My Heart, Studio Calico, Lawn Fawn....just to name a few!

So WHY do we call it THE ULTIMATE???

First there's the location. Just minutes from ''civilization" yet secluded and serene. Less than an hour's drive from most places in the Lower Mainland.

Then there's the facility, which is new and immaculate. Designed as a corporate venue, the sleeping rooms include separate beds and bathroom with shower.  Bed & Bath linens are provided.

The thing that people talk about the most? THE FOOD. Fantastic gourmet meals prepared in very generous quantities to our specifications by the in house chef. Prime rib, salmon, eggs benedict, home made soups & salads; wraps, specialty desserts -- you name it, we've had it! Special diets and food restrictions are all taken into account. All meals are included from Friday night snacks to Sunday brunch. Snacks and beverages are available at all times.

The ULTIMATE craft space. Every crafter gets their own 6ft table, and the craft room is open 24/7. We have the building to ourselves and the setting is secure, so you'll be comfortable leaving your supplies out all the time. Lighting is excellent, and there is access to electrical outlets for those who need it.  Depending on the number of guests we have, at least half of the tables face the movie screen.

Yes, there's a movie screen. There are new DVD releases playing throughout the weekend. Alcholic beverages are permitted (some would say "highly recommended") and the dress code is ultra casual. As in pajamas and slippers. Imagine a giant crafting slumber party!

The Ultimate pampering. Sleep, dine, drink, take a nature walk, enjoy the view or enjoy conversation by the fire place. Book a relaxation massage. Watch a movie. Stay up all night and scrapbook!

There is something really special about these weekends. Whether you get 40 pages done, or 4, you're guaranteed to go home happy, relaxed and well fed!
