The meals at the retreat will be buffet style with great variety including vegetarian and gluten free options. If you have other special dietary requirements, please contact us at support@kabuconnect.com We will do our best to try to accommodate your needs.
Is the Retreat Wheelchair accessible?
The campsite is fairly hilly with gravel paths. Most of the retreat facilities including the cabins have stairs and are not easily accessible for a wheelchair-user. Having said that, If you are a wheelchair user and wish to participate in the retreat please contact us at support@kabuconnect.com to find out about accommodation alternatives. If you travel with a Caregiver, we will gladly accommodate them free of charge.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Can I request specific roommates? Can we choose who to share a room with?
The sleeping accommodations have separate rooms for men and women. We will try to honor requests for specific roommates in the same cabin, but please keep in mind that this is a retreat based on connection. Making new friends that share the same goal as yourself is a huge spiritual gift!
Can I have my own room?
We are looking into this option, the venue offers different room settings which could offer in some cases more privacy, although it would probably incur a significant expense to have that option. Let us know if you require such special accommodations by sending an email to support@kabuconnect.com.
TRAVELING
Where should I fly to?
We recommend flying to Schiphol International Airport in Amsterdam. Please plan to arrive before 12:00 p.m. CET (Central European Time). A chartered bus will be available at 12:00pm to take you to the Camp. Reservations for the bus should be made as soon as possible as space is limited. Reserve your seat in advance by filling out this form.
How do I get there independently?
You can reserve a spot on the charter bus at Schiphol International Airport even if you are not flying in. If you don’t want to go to the airport, you can use public transportation that will bring you nearby.
For those choosing to use public transportation and arrive independently to the Retreat site, please make sure to send us an email at support@kabuconnect.com with your contact information including your phone number and approx time of arrival, one of our KabU representatives will be in touch with you to coordinate your pick up.
I’m coming by car. Is there free parking?
Yes and plenty!
