Knit Camp - Spring 2024

Friday, May 31 - Sunday, June 2, 2024
15 spots

Registration opens Monday, March 18 at 7pm (Central)

Dappled Fern is hosting our first ever Spring Knit Camp! Join us for a weekend knitting amongst the wine barrels at North Shore Winery and relaxing at Ski Hill Cabins and Saunas in Lutsen, MN. 

We’ll kick off this retreat with happy hour at North Shore Winery, then head back to our cabins for saunas, bonfire, and knitting. We’ll spend mornings knitting  in the barrel room at winery and afternoons exploring the North Shore. This retreat is all about relaxing! Bring any projects you want to work on.

Knit Camp is hosted by Dappled Fern Owner and Holistic Coach Dorothy Broomall. Dorothy will hold the same warm, welcoming space you’ve come to know at Dappled Fern…it’s just you don’t have to go home at the end of the day!

Ski Hill Cabins, where we’ll stay, opened earlier this year so we’ll be some of the first to experience these modern cabins. Each cabin offers a spacious living room, full kitchen, two full bathrooms, fire circle, and private sauna. Accommodations include main-floor single room (California king bed), main floor bunk room (queen above queen bunk beds), or shared loft (two full beds in loft accessible by ships ladder). Each is labeled and priced so you can choose the one that's right for your knit camp vision, mobility, and budget.

If you want to stay offsite, you can register for the Winery Pass to join us for the portions of the Retreat hosted at North Shore Winery and stay where ever you want!
