UUFSB Retreat at Camp Quinipet - Friday, September 26 to Sunday, September 28, 2008


There are still 25 spaces left as of Monday, June 2nd

The $1500 building rental cost comes out to $60 for each BED
(assuming we fill all 25 available beds)

Asbury house sleeps 25 people in 10 rooms. There are 5 rooms with 3 beds (1 single and 1 bunk) in them and 5 rooms with 2 beds (2 singles) in them. This allows more people to have semi-private rooms than we had in the spring at the Jesse Lee house (bathrooms still have to be shared).

How the food will be done is still undecided:
1) We could have each person/family bring their own food. This avoids the problem of buying foods for the group that some people won't eat or don't like. You can also minimize the expense for a family - $60 for each bed & then bring peanut butter & jelly sandwiches to eat.
2) We could have "food coordinators" purchase food for a group. It looks like we would need at least TWO "food coordinators" - one for vegan/vegetarian food and one for other food. In the past, the cost doing the food this way has averaged about $20 per person.
3) Other - You may have some other creative idea how to handle food for the weekend. Send me an email () and let me know what your creative idea is!

We'll be staying in Asbury House: Asbury is one of the Camp Quinipet historical houses dating back to 1882. There are 10 semiprivate rooms and three and a half bathrooms in the hall. There are accommodations for 25 people. The view of the bay is by far the best from Asbury. Two of the three decks overlook the Peconic Bay. After an afternoon outside, warm up in front of the large fireplace. Asbury has a well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable twin beds are provided with a pillow and blanket. Please bring your own sheets and towels.

Here's the Asbury floor plan for downstairs and upstairs
