UMBS Bead Retreats: Twice each year we head off for a few days of beading, fun, beading, shopping, beading, learning a new pattern, good friends, beading, food, beading... I think you get the idea. We offer a few classes, and someone is always willing to teach you just about anything you want to learn. We usually have some vendors so if you forget something, you can buy it from them or borrow it from someone else. Consider bringing those UFOs sitting in your bead stash.
SPRING Retreat is usually in March; to get rid of your cabin fever. FALL Retreat is usually in September; after the kids are off for another school year and just in time to start working on those Christmas projects. We have been doing these bead retreats for 20+ years and have tried several different venues over the years. We've especially enjoyed our experiences at Camp Wapogasset in Wisconsin.
