2004 Grand Isle Lake House Retreats
The Preservation Trust of Vermont's Lake House
retreats are for groups working on an historic preservation or
community revitalization project. These retreats are a group
mentoring experience where each group is asked to present a 10
to 15 minute case study about a challenge they're facing related
to their project, followed by group discussion and
brainstorming/cross mentoring. The whole idea is to bring people
together from around the state who are working on similar kinds
of projects in order to take advantage of the collective
experience and thinking. In addition, we have resource
people at each retreat to join in the discussion. We try
to have about 6-8 groups of 2-4 people representing each
project. The goal is to boost projects along their timeline by
strategically identifying resources, solving problems, garnering
peer support, and generating self-confidence and momentum.
2004 Retreat Dates:
June 21,22
Aug. 10,11
Sept. 13,14 (emphasis on churches)
Oct. 12,13
Check-in at the Lake House is 3:00 and we finish by 2:00 the
following afternoon. The Gannett Foundation and Burlington Free
Press are generously underwriting the retreats so that the cost
to participants for room and three meals is $75/person for a
shared room, $100 for a single. There are a limited number of
single rooms available on a first-come basis. For a
preview of the Lake House, please see our web site: http://www.ptvermont.org/lh_booklet.htm.
The retreats are part of the Preservation
Trust's Field Service Program, a partnership of the
Preservation Trust of Vermont and National Trust for Historic
Preservation. For more information, please contact our
