About the accommodations
Prices for overnight programs include room, board, and tuition.
Private room
These quiet, single rooms are perfect for those who want a real retreat, and are simply decorated with a twin bed and desk.

For those who elect to share a room with a guest or another participant, these offer comfort at a modest price.
Commute
Commuter rates include lunch and dinner during the program.
Private rooms are allotted on a first-come, first-served basis, with consideration given to those with special needs.
Join the co-authors of Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship: Quakers, African Americans, and the Myth of Racial Justice to examine why Quakers remain a mainly European- American community. Discuss personal and institutional experiences of racism and use the book’s epilogue, “Toward an Inclusive Community,” to plan specific ways to work for racial justice. Supplementary materials and a DVD will aid in planning specific steps. (Reading Fit for Freedom is encouraged but not required!)
$360/private room; $285/shared room; $200/commuter.
