Find Rest + Renewal

As available, 10% of Lodge Rooms (3) and the cottage will be available for open for reservation by persons serving in ministry (Small Church Pastors, called or validated ministers, CLP, retired ministry professionals, music professionals, DCE, Youth Ministry, full-time/part-time staff in congregations or ministries) in all PCUSA Presbyteries and Congregations, with scheduling preference given to Synod of Mid-Atlantic members.  Discounted rates are available year round when groups have not reserved the entire facility or designated exclusive use.   Meals are offered at a standard rate with no discount when available (generally the Lodge does not serve meals unless at least 15+ persons have reserved/arranged a meal).  

Scholarships for further discounts can be requested and approved at discretion of the WBL Director.   Scholarship programs for Wee Kirk and Post-Easter Respite will continue at special package rates or through scholarship programs.   

This program does not apply for professionals in ministry when serving in leadership or attending their own congregational or judicatory events at William Black Lodge.  

The number of days/dates scheduled by any one individual in a calendar year may be limited to no more than 7 (seven).  This may be adapted at the discretion of the WBL Director. 
All reservations will be available on a first come/first serve basis and will be confirmed within 60 days of the first date of the requested dates.  The Lodge reserves the right to provide lodging facilities/rooms as available and therefore does not guarantee a specific room, floor, or room arrangement (except in the case of ADA requirements).
