These Shoes Were Made for Walkin'

And crafting. And dancing. And tie dying. And canoeing. Fearless Leader, Patti's Camp Keds were a familiar sight each time we all got together. But sadly, even sneakers' lives come to an end. These made it all the way to Hanoi, Vietnam this past Christmas, fell apart and decided to stay there. Next Camp GetAway... new Keds for Patti!

FAQs - We Get Asked Every Camp:

Q. When do registrations sell out?
A. We honestly never know. Every Camp is different; some book up earlier than others.

Q. Can I make a deposit to hold a space?
A. Sorry, only full payment secures a spot.

Q. How many campers in a cabin?
A. Cabins have several configurations, averaging 4 to 6 bunkrooms. Bunkrooms sleep up to 8 campers. We use a secret formula to do cabin assignments that only Fearless Leader is privy to. Believe us, you spend very little time inside cabins, everything FUN is happening throughout Camp. The bathrooms ARE indoors, the showers ARE private and the water IS hot.

Q. I'm lactose-intollerant, will I have a problem?
A. Your registration form asks campers to list any food issues, so that we can accommodate. For "weight loss" focused campers, there are plenty of healthy food choices at each meal.

Q. I don't have anyone to join me, will I fit in attending solo?
A. We always have solo travelers, no worries. And to be honest, once groups get here, they often split in several directions, too.

Q. Can I book spa treatments closer to the Camp date?
A. Sure. Registered campers receive materials in the mail that allow you to add spa treatments later, if available. We add spa staff based on pre-paid appointments.

Q. I have special needs due to a disability. Can you accommodate?
A. Yes, we can. Contact Patti directly at 310-471-3138 x 105 to discuss so the proper cabin, parking, etc. can be assigned.

Q. Are there discounts for groups?
A. Everyone pays the same rate. Keep an eye on the Early Bird Discount deadline.

Q. I'm a brand new mommy, still pumping. Advice?
A. All bunkrooms have electrical outlets, and the lodge has a camper 'fridge, so you can store until time to go home.

Q. We have friends who want to attend, but cannot pay yet. Can we save spaces?
A. Bunks are reserved by paid registration. However, your registration form does ask for a list of requested bunkmates, so we can watch for named campers' anticipated registration to keep groups together.

Q. Our group wants to funnel everything through one contact, how do we do this?
A. Each camper MUST submit her own online registration, for liability reasons. If one person wants to submit payment for the group, have her email Patti@CampGetAway.com for a special invoice. Each paid camper receives her registration packet in the mail.

Q. How can I "surprise" my sister with a gift of Camp GetAway weekend?
A. Every camp, we have a few surprise attendances (last camp, we had THREE). Email Patti@CampGetAway.com to arrange submission of her registration form, and where to mail her registration packet.

Q. When do we know the day and time of our spa appointments?
A. Campers with FRIDAY appointments are emailed a week before Camp. All other appointments are in your welcome envelope.

Q. Can I bring my dog?
A. Only service animals may attend.

Q. What happens if I need to cancel?
A. Our website posts the cancellation and refund policy.

One Way to Attend Oct. 2-4 Camp FREE

See this gigantor van? It's been our magical bus to bring all our working supplies to Camp, plus 3 staffers. This October, it's not available to us so.... if YOU have a vehicle approx. this size and live near Westwood/Brentwood (or willing to get here), we'll give you a free weekend Oct. 2-4 if you'll carpool us. We definitely fill the gas tank, too. Email Patti@campgetaway.com to volunteer.
