See PICTURES OF THE CAMP HERE.
Camp Maranatha is located at Big Lake, about 1 hour north of Anchorage. Ididachain Crochet Guild of Alaska rents a portion of the camp retreat facility that belongs to the Advent Christian Churches. Please note that this event is not a religious gathering but focused on crochet.
They rent this at the height of the Alaskan leaves, changing for fall. The rooms are up flights of stairs with no ramps or elevators.
The cost of the event is cheap. As a gift to the Crochet Guild, I didn't charge for prepping or instructional time at the retreat, so the guild could put the funds into keeping the organization strong and funds directed at producing a wonderful event. Let's have a ball.
If you don't bring a roommate, the guild will assign one. If you have any questions, please contact the guild before signing up. There are no refunds. The camp is small, and space is really limited.
