Pocono Believe 2025: Tuition & Other Costs

Early Bird Tuition: available Jan 12-Feb 12

Regular Retreat Tuition: begins Feb 13

Housing & Meals Not Included in Tuition Cost

Retreat accommodations are an additional cost and must be purchased separately through the Highlights Foundation. Once you register for the retreat, the link to pay for your housing (full weekend retreat) or meal plan (one day ticket) will be located under "More information" in your scbwi.org My Events feed. As housing is first come first served, we highly recommend booking housing on the same day as registering for the retreat.

Add a Faculty One-on-One Meeting

A limited number of faculty critiques and career consultation meetings are available at an additional cost.

Cancellation Policy

A $100 programing cancellation fee will be applied from Eastern PA SCBWI for cancellations after April 11, 2025. Additional cancellation fees may be applied on housing cancellations by the Highlights Foundation or off-campus sites.
