The Healing Power of Grown-Up Fun
How to Find Your Bliss
Bliss, bliss, bliss. It can be an overworked and confusing word, what exactly does it mean? "A state of extreme happiness." Pretty simple to say, and most times, pretty hard to achieve. Anderson Cooper of CNN tells the story that when he was a teenager getting ready to interview for a restaurant job, he asked his mother (the famed Gloria Vanderbilt) for advice. She said, "Follow your bliss." Well, Coop thought that was a little over the head of a 17-year-old waiter and it took some time before he could appreciate it, but today Coop says, he follows his mother's advice in his high-profile journalism job. Extreme happiness can be a life situation or simply a weekend away from the stresses of home and work. In either case, bliss is what you make of it. What do we sell at Camp GetAway? Massive amounts of bliss.
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.
