24th Annual Workshop and Retreat
April 30th-May 3, 2020
Ross Point Camp & Conference Center in Post Falls, Idaho
We are pleased to present our 24th Annual Tatting Workshop
"Carnaval"
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
We have made some changes for this year.
Please read all of the following information and
click on all of the links to see more.
About the Venue:
This will be our 4th year at the beautiful Ross Point Camp and Conference Center in Post Falls, Idaho. The camp is located in a beautiful wooded setting along the Spokane River, just one mile south of Interstate 90 and about 30 miles east of Spokane, WA and only 34 miles from the Spokane International Airport.
The facilities are beautiful and restful with large gathering rooms for vending and non-class time and provide plenty of recreational activity for our non-tatting guests.
Lodging Information:
Ross Point has lodging on site in motel style rooms (bedding, pillows and towels provided) that can accommodate up to 82 overnight guests. Each room has 2 or 3 twin beds. Cabins are also available for those that would like to share a space with 6-8 others and don't mind walking a greater distance. You must provide your own bedding, pillows and towels for the cabins. There are also 6-7 RV sites available with water and electricity but no sewer hookups.
Please note: This is Bloomsday weekend and hotel/motel rooms will be scarce from Spokane WA to Coeur d'Alene ID. If you choose offsite lodging, it is recommended that you make your reservations as early in January as possible. We are unable to provide a list of recommended accommodations offsite.
