There is usually 30-40 of us that go each time and we only have to help prepare and bring food for one meal in that 3 day period. It is very modern place and only costs us about $45 for the whole 3 days. Ours is owned and operated by the Methodist Ministry. Check some local church camps out and you can probably find a place cheaper. As I go already instate 3 times a year can't get off work for much else except family trips. But sounds like fun.
I don't go to retreats to cook and wash dishes. Most of the church camps I have found don't hold that many.

The church camp I did find will sleep 175 and they'll feed you twice a day. Plus they have a massive room that can be used for a sewing room.

Maybe you can put together a retreat for members of this group in your area.
