Camp Blanding Retreat is held multiple times a year at the Army Reserve Training Facility, Highway 16, Starke, Florida. This retreat is the perfect environment for participants to work on their UFOs - quilting, stitching, weaving, needlework - it's your choice. We meet in the Armory Building with a huge workspace, GREAT lighting, tables, chairs, and adequate power to manage all of the sewing machines, irons, lights, etc. We have a large commercial kitchen with plenty of sinks, work counters, a gas stove, microwaves, a GREAT ice machine, commercial refrigerators, coffee pots, and more. Here you are welcome to bring your crockpots, cook on the stove, and bake in the oven - whatever you need to provide meals for you and/or your group.
You are NOT required to be a military or a government employee. We provide the guards with a listing of attendees and upon showing ID you will be allowed to enter. If another individual is bringing you, they too must have their name on the list for entry.
