How Much To Charge for a Retreat

10/19/2013

0 Comments

 
Most churches seek to cover the costs of their retreats completely through participant fees, while realistically planning to assist those in their community who may not be able to afford to participate (with budgeted subsidies and scholarships). Remember that there are costs to your retreat that are above and beyond what the Lodge charges.

What are your costs? Some things to consider:
  • What is the cost charged by Rainbow Lodge per person? (found on your guest agreement). Multiply this number by the total number expected to attend- make sure to include all persons whether they are paying or not - e.g., speakers and presenters.
  • What are the speakers travel fees and honorarium?
  • How much are your supplies (decorations, treats, copies, etc.) going to cost?
  • Will you have promotional expenses?
  • How big is your postage bill for the retreat?
  • Any miscellaneous expenses?
Add all of the above to get your total estimated cost. Divide by your estimated number of guests to get a realistic cost per person.
