Thanks for checking out the Holy Waste of Time retreat! Rooms in the lodge have sold out but we are still taking names for the waitlist in case of cancellations.
Another option: we have space for tent camping! $50/person includes campsite, all meals, activities, and full access to bathrooms and showers. You would bring the tent and be responsible for setting up and taking down. Please select the "tent camping" ticket. Separately register each person who would be staying in the tent.

Adults in their 20s & 30s from around the Diocese of Olympia are invited to our annual weekend of fun, friendship, faith, and blessed time-wasting at St. Andrew's House, a gorgeous rustic lodge situated on the Hood Canal with the Olympic Mountains just beyond.
Feel free to choose your own adventure: kayak, paddle board, or swim the beautiful calm waters of the Puget Sound; take a hike on the forest trails nearby; or simply read at the lodge or sun on the deck. We'll also offer some optional activities: yoga, music, and arts 'n' crafts. Each evening we'll close with prayer and song and on Sunday morning we'll celebrate a very casual Eucharist together.
Creative home-style cooking is a St. Andrew's House tradition; meals include nurturing entrees of locally-sourced foods and delicious fresh desserts. Any dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
The per-person price includes two night's lodging and all meals and activities. Single/shared bedrooms are available - please specify your preference.
Re: COVID precautions, we ask that you take a home test and receive a negative result before you leave your home and we ask for proof of vaccination as a further precaution.
$95/person on or before July 31. $110/person after July 31. $50/person - tent camping.
Scholarships are available. Contact Valerie Reinke at vreinke@ecww.org for any questions including scholarship requests.
