Subject: RE: Juneau Family Reunion Contract
Thank you for your interest in Callaway Gardens Summer Family Adventure (SFA) program. In order to provide as much information as possible, please look online for these three items...
1 -The SFA Handbook provide information about all recreational activities, prices and locations; as well as Callaway restaurants and some local information about the city of Pine Mountain. Go online and look at the handbook!
2 - The 2013 Schedule is the most informative document available. This was the itinerary for each day of the week – from arrival to departure. Some of the activities will be moving around to better organize, to increase access to popular activities (such as Aqua Island), etc. This gives you a comprehensive look at what to expect during your Adventure. This document also lets you know what is part of the included price, and what will cost extra. If there is no price in the far right-hand column, it is part of the included price. As this is the 2013 Schedule, we anticipate some changes for the 2014 season. Go online and look up the 2013 schedule to get an understanding of the weekly camp program!
3 - The 2014 SFA Registration provides valuable information such our Referral Discount, Early Bird Discount ($200 off per cottage (based on 7 nights stay), if reservation made prior to October 31), Deposits & Prepayment requirements, and our Cancellation Policy (90 day policy). It also provides some information about our different accommodations. The Cottages are the most popular accommodations during SFA because they are situated inside the Gardens, about ½ mile from the Circus Tent (where the camp starts each morning).
The SFA program allows you to do most activities offered by Callaway Gardens. There are a few exceptions. This program does not provide bulk access to all Callaway recreation. Recreations are only included at the specified times on the SFA Schedule. If guest would like to participate in recreation at other times, they are subject to the standard rates and times. A full round of golf is not provide in this program, but can be purchased separately. Individuals can book tee times when you place your reservation. This will better insure your desired tee time is available. If you have any questions concerning our activities, I will be happy to discuss those over the phone For better clarification.
Callaway Gardens offers an exclusive SFA Activity Pass, equaling 30 punch on two cards to help with after hour recreational activities. The Activity Pass can be purchased for an additional $280. I have attached a copy so that you can see the activities vs. punches. These cards can be purchased prior to check-in, at check-in or during the week at the Cottage Check-In or Golf ProShop locations. Once purchased they are non-refundable for any reason, so I would suggest starting with one.
To make your stay more comfortable, you might want to bring your own bicycles or rent them from Callaway Gardens. You are also welcome to pre-book a golf cart rental; $250 for six night rental. We highly recommend pre-booking golf carts as there is a limited number of four seat carts.
I know I have provided a wealth of information. For exact pricing, please call my direct number.
