This retreat is designed for individuals who have a work in progress and would like critique from other writers as well as time to work on their projects in a relaxing, inspiring environment away from the interruptions of their everyday lives.
Those who enjoy the outdoors may take advantage of the many natural settings that this part of Cape Cod offers. An easy-to-ride bike trail offers a journey through gentle forest settings, meadows, and cranberry bogs.
