Housing
Can I stay off campus?
Eastern PA SCBWI has only arranged a room block at the Highlights Foundation this year. If you would like to stay off campus, please feel free to research and book another local establishment.
I just registered for the retreat. Does my housing get booked automatically?
Participants MUST book their own housing for the retreat. Once you register for the retreat, the link to pay for your housing will be located under "More information" in your scbwi.org My Events feed.
Is it okay to register for the retreat today and book my housing at Highlights at a later date?
Housing is first come first served. Please, book your housing arrangements the SAME DAY that you register for the retreat to ensure housing availability. The Highlights Foundation reserves the right to release any rooms not reserved 45 days prior to the retreat (Wednesday, March 12, 2025). After that date, Eastern PA SCBWI will not be able to guarantee housing availability.
Faculty Critiques & Career Consultations
I registered for a Career Consultation. What do I submit?
The Career Consultations are discussion times only. Submit nothing ahead. But DO prepare questions and/or bring any printouts you need to pitch a project during the conversation with your faculty.
