Can I bring my spouse, partner, or family?

Absolutely. We’ve booked exclusive use of the retreat center, and there’s plenty to do on site. Features such as the lake, playgrounds, a child recreation center and child care make it a perfect trip for families. While nicely secluded, the venue is also just a stone’s throw from downtown Hendersonville in the event guests are interested in offsite activities.

If I choose to bring additional non-participating guests, what is the cost?

Adult guest tickets are $350 each and include all meals and access to designated group events. Children ages 4-12 are $250 each and include meals, access to designated group events and activities, and childcare. Children ages 0-3 are welcome free of charge.

What is not included in my tuition?

Lodging is not included in the tuition price, but we’ve secured a range of options that will fit any budget. We may also introduce some optional activities—offsite ziplining, for example—that would not be included and necessitate a separate enrollment fee. We’ll keep you posted on that. Finally, your tuition does not cover any purchases from the on-site store or alcoholic beverages (outside of special events where we’re furnishing them, that is).

What if I can’t stay for the entire week?

We’d love for you to join us, even if you can’t make it out for the entire week. There will be plenty of founders to meet and activities for you to participate in from the moment you arrive that will make the experience worthwhile. While you’re free to arrive late or dip out early, just note that we’re not able to provide discounted tuition or lodging in the event you can’t make all the dates.
