WHY DOES THE RETREAT COST $5000 PER COUPLE?
One of the reasons this retreat is so powerful is the location. The remote Alaskan wilderness which surrounds Rainy Pass Lodge is healing and remarkable. The lodge is over 100 miles from the nearest road; everything is flown in on bush planes which make it expensive. A one-way charter flight costs $2000, food is about $150/day per person, Travel costs of your hosts, staffing, etc. Normal 3-night trips to this luxury lodge retail at $6500 per person. This specially discounted rate is just to cover the operating costs and offer this unique healing experience with the hopes of strengthening marriages for the betterment of our community. We want it to be available to everyone, so we have some scholarships available as well as an in-town retreat at Change Point Church in Anchorage.
