Details and Itinerary

We are capping this event at 17 people for the Lodge. This is for the MNA body (open to members first then partners) only. Should we exceed 17, guests will be accommodated by tree houses and cabins also available by the property owner. Fees and availability are separate from the cost of the Lodge and are subject to change.

Rate starts at $375 per person for the first 8 people. After that the Lodge charges an additional $30 per person and rates increase accordingly. We ask at the time you book to please consider making an additional donation to the MNA to contribute to some of the food costs for the weekend.

Any additional donations will go toward providing dinner for Friday and Saturday evening, and light provisions for breakfast and lunch. This is subject to change based on funding. We will be keeping things dairy and gluten free. We also encourage you to bring additional food for yourself and to share if you prefer.

Please consider sharing your culinary gifts with your fellow members by volunteering to organize one of the meals or to assist in preparing food. Meal times are some of the most fun and treasured moments of the weekend.


Please RSVP by contacting Jessica Idleman here.

Payment will be due no later than August 15.

You may secure your spot in advance by making your contribution of $375-$425 at paypal.me/monutritionalliance
