    Flexibility to Fit Your Retreat
    One of the unique aspects of our retreats is the flexibility we offer in how meals are managed. You can choose the approach that best suits your group’s needs and goals:

    • Prepare Meals Together – Use this opportunity to build teamwork and life skills while enjoying the satisfaction of creating simple, delicious meals as a group. Menu and ingredients are provided by AdvenutureServe and prepared by you and your group. The cost is roughly $5-$9 per meal per person.

    • Catered Meals – Prefer to focus solely on your retreat experience? Let us arrange catered meals for your group, so you can relax and enjoy the convenience. Cost determined by your choices of catering options.

    • Self-Managed Meals – Want complete control? You’re welcome to take charge of all aspects of meal preparation, from planning to cooking. This option allows for total customization based on your group’s preferences.

    Your choice of meal option will help shape the overall retreat experience and influence the final cost, allowing you to tailor the experience to your budget and preferences.

    Whether you’re cooking together or sharing catered meals, the time spent around the table will deepen connections and create lasting memories for your group.

  • Due to the custom nature of retreats pricing can vary. Retreats start at $25 per person per day, offering an incredible value for a life-changing experience.

    Again final costs may vary based on the options you and your retreat coordinator select. Let’s create the perfect adventure together!
