LAMOKA OVERNIGHT QUILT RETREAT
Our Second Lamoka Quilt Retreat was held Thursday, April 3 – Sunday, April 6, 2025 starting at 9:00am through Sunday, November 10, 2024 at 3:30pm.
Lamoka is a Baptist camp located on Lamoka Lake, 3646 Lamoka Lake Road, Bradford, NY 14815, approximately 1 hour from downtown Ithaca. We had an amazing time at the first retreat, hope you can join us.
Quilting takes place in the large dining hall with windows looking over the lake. There is room to layout quilts on tables, generous spaces to sew, cutting stations and plenty of ironing boards around the room!
We are provided with lunch/dinner on Thursday, all three meals on Friday and Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. Please let Sandy know as soon as possible if you have special dietary needs, this information will need to be communicated to the staff at Lamoka.
Sleeping accommodations are in what are called “Jack and Jill” cabins, 4 to 5 beds in a room on each side of the building with a bathroom connecting them. The accommodations are rustic (think of sleep away camp and you are the counselor). However, the mattresses are donated by Cornell University; one side is soft and the other is firm, you pick by flipping!
Cost: $240 for people attending from Thursday – Sunday
$180 for people attending Friday – Sunday – any 3 days you may come
$120 for people attending Saturday – Sunday – any 2 days you may come
Payment options:
Send a check to Sandy Rouleau @ 794 Trumbulls Corners Road, Newfield NY 14867 or give her one at a meeting.

For the community center/firehouse retreats, bring your sewing machine, tools, extension cords, lights, projects & spirit of sewing. The buildings are locked at night so we can leave our sewing projects in place if planning to return the next day. There are refrigerators and microwaves available to store food items or heat things up.
Most retreats are free of charge to guild members. Non-members are welcome to attend once guild members have had the opportunity to sign up. Non-member fee is $10. Members & non-members should contact the guild member listed at the location you wish to attend so they can keep track of numbers of participants. There are some space constraints.
