Planning Guide
Building A Schedule Creating a schedule is a good first step in planning your visit. A well-thought out schedule will help ensure an enjoyable stay for your group. At a minimum, we recommend you do the following:
- Make note of our mealtimes. Our meals are served buffet style at 8:30 AM, 12:30 PM and 5:30 PM. Food will be available for half an hour after the start of the meal. We have found that most groups require about an hour to an hour and a half to eat and prepare for their next activity.
- Determine times for events, meeting or special programs.
- Determine times to be offered for recreation and relaxation.
As you create your schedule, be sure to allow sufficient transition time between meals, meetings, recreational and program activities, and other events. Ten minutes is a minimum, and 15 minutes is typical – though some groups may need more time. Transitions make an enjoyable by giving group members time to take care of personal needs. It also helps meals and other events start on time.
Please finalize your groups schedule with us at least two weeks prior to your group’s arrival to enable us to serve you best. The following is a sample schedule that might help in you planning.
