I, too will be leaving next Thurday. However, my husband and I worked at Bayshore Camp this year during the camping season. They are having a open quilting retreat there in Oct. I don't know if it is all sold out or not. I think you can get lodging and meals. There is a quilt shop owner whos is doint it.
Got to their web page BayShorecamp.org (I think) They are in Sebewaing Mi right by te Sugar Factory
