considering a fun event

so, here at The Youth Cartel, we have a handful of very cool events in development.  one of 'em is WAY cool and likely to happen, and we'll get the info out on that, hopefully, by the end of the month.  but we're busy exploring more.one of the plans we're fairly sure we're going to try is:YMCP-minithis would be a one-time 4-day version of the youth ministry coaching program.  it would embody the same values, many of the same elements, and the same cohort approach.  but all in a compact version (meaning: less depth, but also less travel and cost).  maybe charge something like $900 (instead of the $3000 of the full YMCP).however, there's one version of that we're considering at the moment, and i thought i'd toss it out here to our insiders to get a feel of whether or not there's interest...YMCP-mini... ON A BOATwe have access to a gorgeous 75 foot motor yacht, with staterooms for 10 or so, if you don't mind sharing a bed (not that it would be free, but we think we could get a good deal).  we talked about offering this as a couples' retreat, since it makes such good sense with the bedroom situation. but we're not clear that people (or churches) would be up for paying for 2 spaces).  hey, if that were possible, we'd be all over it.  but my thought is that there might be 10 youth workers who would pay that fee knowing that it includes all food and accommodations (but the accommodations are shared, as in, 2 people in a shared bed in a stateroom). the location would be in the san juan islands out from seattle.  a YMCP-mini elsewhere would be about the same cost, but would not include accommodations or food.  we would tailor the program on this particular YMCP-mini (or couples' retreat) to give you free time for enjoying our surroundings also (and it might be 5 days - but that wouldn't impact the cost).let me know what you think, would you?  is this something you could imagine consider?  is there any chance you'd be up for the 'youth ministry couples' retreat'? or would you only be interested in the YMCP-mini... ON A BOAT?  what about a YMCP-mini elsewhere?oh, and we also have access to a gorgeous and safe resort in mexico where we've thought about doing this couples' retreat.  same thing -- we'd probably make that one about 7 days long (and would include some serving together), and a very light schedule.  in that location, every couple would get a suite, with living room and bedroom and kitchen.  we'd bring some food down, and the resort would prepare the rest.  total cost for that one, including accommodations and some food, for 7 days, would probably be about $1500/couple, but we could take more people than we could on the boat (which would, by the nature of the boat, be very exclusive).speak to us!
