• **Day Only Rate: Includes receptions, baptisms, family reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, showers, etc. All outdoor events may start no earlier than 8:00am and need to conclude ½ hour prior to sunset. Limitations apply.

There is a maximum of 4 guests (children ages 3 and up, plus adults) in any one lodge room. Each lodge room has two full beds and a private bath. All linens are provided. For youth groups staying in conference center spaces, St. Christopher recommends leaders follow best practices as identified by the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina for keeping youth and adults safe. Details on best practices are available upon request.
• Cabin Rentals: Cabin rentals are limited to groups, with a minimum of 4 people constituting a group. Rates are per person. Cabins are rustic communal bunkhouses.

Non-refundable payment up front is required. Regular rates apply. Personal retreaters who wish to reserve four or more rooms must book as a group.
• Seabrook Apartment & Fitzgerald Apartment Respite Rate: Apartment use for the purpose of respite for clergy and lay church professionals is at a discounted rate, but includes a $50 cleaning fee. Respite rates presume quiet time for clergy and lay church professionals of a few days duration, and not a full family vacation. The rate for multiple occupants may include spouse, not a clergy or lay church professional’s full family.
  – The Clergy rate starts at $60/night for single occupancy and increases $10/person for up to 3 people in the Fitzgerald Apartment, or 4 people in the Clergy Apartment. Spouses of Diocesan clergy are also eligible for this rate when not accompanied by their clergy spouse.
  – NOTE: If the apartment is reserved for clergy because they are leading or teaching at a conference or retreat, the regular Seabrook Apartment rate applies. Fitzgerald has a king size bed; the Clergy Apartment has a full bed and a bunk bed.

Group Contract Information:

1. Until St. Christopher receives the signed contract and dated Reservation Agreement along with the 25% deposit, reservations are not confirmed. If we do no hear from you by the 30 day deadline, temporarily held rooms will be released.
2. Please be aware that signing the Reservation Agreement makes you responsible for paying at least 80% of the total estimated fee at the time you book. This is called the Guaranteed Minimum Fee, which will appear on your contract. It gives you a generous “cushion” with which to work as you plan your conference or retreat. We will firmly hold to this policy. Please consider this carefully before you sign the Reservation Agreement.
3. Cancellation policy is as follows:
   • Canceling more than 6 months out = Refund of deposit less $100 administrative fee
   • Canceling 2-6 months out = 1/2 of the Guaranteed Minimum Fee amount
   • Canceling 8 weeks or less out = Full payment of the Guaranteed Minimum Fee amount (80% of reservations booked)
4. Full payment of the balance is due upon arrival. We do not bill groups. Your final invoice will be emailed to you prior to your arrival.
5. Groups within Episcopal jurisdictions may book up to 24 months in advance; all other groups may book no more than 15 months in advance. Groups booking more than 16 months in advance are subject to normal rate increases not to exceed 5%.
6. Payment in full is required at the time of reservation for groups booking 4 weeks or less out from the event date.
