Holding a Retreat on Low Budget
So, after a few national events and lots of meetings, my chapter has decided that a long brotherhood / values-enhancement + planning retreat would be the best way to address several of the issues that my chapter's facing. So, after seeking out lots of advice, we have the perfect plan on how it's going to work and what we're going to do, but there's now one problem: our bank account is dry, and we only have $400 to run a three day two night retreat for >20 people!
Do you guys have ideas on how to hold such a retreat at such a low budget? When I ran up hotels and meeting rooms, they usually come out to about $2000 total. That's already a step down from the original plan of doing it somewhere even further away from "home." Going with camps / lodges only brings it down to approximately $1700.
What sort of venues/options would you all recommend? We're located in northern California.
