Thread & Paper, as a store hosts 4 super fun retreats every year. At Gardom Lake Bible Camp and Retreat Center. The retreats are always a BLAST, you get to sew/quilt for 4 (or 5) days while, the cook makes you delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The thread & Paper retreats are the ONLY retreats that we offer 25% off (of your purchase in the store, during the retreat) to everyone attending.
Registration opens for each retreat on the last day of the previous years retreat. IE registration for Oct 2026 will open Oct 5 2025. This will give priority to the people who are attending the previous retreat. Our retreats are consistently full (normally within a few weeks of registration opening) so the sooner you register the better.
