Planning Timeline

Each group is different, and everyone plans differently. However, in order to best provide for your family, church, or community group, Amigo needs some details in advance. Here's a guide for when to start discussing details with your group, and when Amigo needs final numbers.

Schedule Your Retreat


  • Call or email the Guest Services Coordinator. Helpful information to have on hand:
    • Preferred dates or time of year for your retreat
    • Approximate number of guests (including adults and children)
    • Type of group (family reunion, Sunday School class, marriage retreat, etc.)
    • Lodging & meeting areas you'd like to reserve.
  • Make a reservation. The Guest Services Coordinator will send you a contract with your initial reservation details. Within one month, sign and return the contract with a deposit to secure your reservation.

  • Discuss options for meeting space set-up with the Guest Services Coordinator:

    • Do you need a sound system, microphones, music stands, etc.?
    • Will you use a projector and screen or tv?
    • Would you like to add on snacks or coffee service, or will you bring your own?

Upon Arrival

  • Pick up your room key, settle in, and enjoy your stay!
