Right
to Reserve the Cabins:
The use of the cabins is restricted to Hawaii Conference UCC
ministers and active lay members (and their families) or any church affiliated
with the conference. Priority for use of the cabins are:
- Ministers
and their families
- Church
groups
- Active
lay members and their families
Note: Regardless of advanced booking, there is a two-week
preference for any UCC minister who actively pastors a church on the island of
Kauai. In other words, a pastor can call up to two weeks prior to your
reservation and he/she will get first priority. This is a stipulation of the
donor of the original cabin.
Reservations:
Reservations are made only through the cabin coordinator,
currently Helen Hoeckmann-Percival at Waimea UCC (338-9962).
The cabins may be reserved for a maximum of one week.
