Packing List
Dress Code
Wear what feels natural to you. No formality needed. We'll be moving between indoors and outdoors throughout the retreat, so layers are key! May on Cape Cod can be beautiful and sunny or breezy and cool, sometimes in the same afternoon.
Welcome reception: Come as you are! Many guests will arrive straight from travel. We'll be outside around fire pits for s'mores and oysters, so bring a layer.
Daytime sessions: Comfortable but put-together. Jeans, sweaters, relaxed tops. Whatever helps you feel like yourself!
Off-site dinner: Slightly more polished casual, as you might dress for a nice dinner with friends by the water. Bring layers as evenings on the Cape can be cool.
Activity day: Comfortable clothes you can move in. Throughout the event, you may be on a boat, on a bike, and by the water. Dress accordingly and bring a windbreaker.
