The estimated cost of $360 per person (double occupancy) may vary depending on fuel and hotel rates. A non-refundable deposit of $100 per person is required at the time of booking.

You will be informed of exact cost before your credit card is charged for final payment on August 1.

A limited number of single rooms are available for a $100 supplement and must be requested at the time of booking. (If wanting more than two people in a hotel room, e.g. a family, please register each person and pay $100 deposit each, then inquire at office@olgcretreat.org, 402-786-2705 about discounted room rate.) If you do not have a roommate and do not want to pay the single room supplement, you agree to being paired with another pilgrim of the same gender.  If no roommate can be found by August 1, you will be given the option to cancel or pay the single room supplement.
