Join us for our yearly retreat where you can energize, network, write, draw, learn, grow, laugh, sing, and of course, take naps. The fee includes double occupancy rooms with linens provided and more food than you can devour, along with mind-tingling presentations and workshops from experienced and talented speakers. Individual critiques will be available on a limited basis.

 COST
Early Bird Rate for SCBWI Members: $335. Fee includes all workshops and presentations, plus double room and three meals a day (no private rooms available, and no campers or commuters, sorry).

LOCATION
Silver Falls State Park (and conference center) is nestled in the foothills of the Cascades, near Sublimity, Oregon, about 60 miles southeast of Portland. Click here for directions, or visit the main Silver Falls web page for snapshots and descriptions of the facilities.


THE REST
The SCBWI Oregon Retreat is friendly, relaxed, and invigorating. Your room which you may be sharing with a complete stranger is equipped with two single beds, a closet, and one little desk, but the living rooms in the lodges have tables and chairs. There are two large restroom facilities in each of the four lodges, and the lodges hold 12 people in each, plus we have a couple of 2-bed cabins available. 3 meals a day are served in the cafeteria and you are guaranteed to overeat. There are well maintained hiking trails around the conference center to work off those calories and enjoy the setting. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT.
