Writing Retreat: Barrelhouse

Our application is geared toward finding out whether you’re a good fit for what we’re doing. “Good fit” means a few things: Do we like your writing in general? Do we think one of us will really be able to help you make it better? Does it seem like spending four days in close quarters in the middle of the Pennsylvania countryside might be cool for you? For us? Our application is fast and will ask for a quick bio, a writing sample, and a few questions about sharing close quarters with a bunch of writers.

If you’re selected, then we’ll ask you to pay within two weeks of acceptance, so we can be sure you’re serious about coming, and we can work to fill your spot if it turns out you can’t join us.

If you’re interested in a shared room: Please use the shared room application. Remember, you can share your cabin with a non-writer who would like a mini-vacation! If you have a friend or significant other who would enjoy a few quiet days near a stream, doing non-writing things, please use the shared room application. Standard shared cabin fees will apply. 

Application fee: There is no application fee.

Camp fees range from $300-$595, depending upon accommodations. Lodging and meals are included.

Application Deadline: Applications for both camps will be open until March 14. We’ll send our first round of acceptances by early April, and then re-assess. If we still need to fill spots, we’ll announce another opening.

Apply here.
