We’ve created this packing list with recommendations on what to bring with you for this year’s Black Women’s Wellness Retreat as well as some other expectations for your time at the Stony Point Center! Each private room includes a twin bed, a closet, a desk, a personal sink, mirror, and a side table with a lamp. There is shared access to private, lockable bathrooms and shower rooms. Ample shared spaces for reflection are available. Please note there is no on-site transportation (for example, golf carts), but our buildings and the dining hall will be clustered closely together. The campus has paved paths connecting different buildings that are ADA accessible. For more information on accommodations, visit the Stony Point Center website here.

Weather is forecasted to be in the low-70s during the day and dip to the mid 50s in the evenings so please keep that in mind as you prepare. We are expecting a cloudy weekend. Click here to view up-to-date weather forecast and information.

Additionally, please note that cell service and wifi connectivity may be limited throughout the campus.

Please Note: It is your responsibility to ensure that your possessions are kept safe at all times.
