Pack comfortable clothing and shoes for activities and relaxation, plus toiletries, a change of clothes for each day, and a sleeping bag or bedding if not provided.

Pack any medications, a yoga mat or activity-specific gear, and a small backpack for daytime essentials.
Smoking, alcohol, and other substances are strictly prohibited. Violators will be removed without refund.
What is the dress code?
There is no formal dress code — dress comfortably for a outdoor retreat. We recommend layers (North Idaho weather can shift), sturdy shoes or hiking boots for activities, and a jacket for cool evenings. Modest, casual attire is the norm.
Are pets allowed?
For the safety and comfort of all attendees — especially children — pets are not permitted on the retreat grounds. Service animals are welcome; please contact us in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
Can I get a refund?
Refund policies are available on the ticketing page. We understand plans change — please review the terms at checkout or contact hello@shilohecho.org with any questions before purchasing.
