PARKING
There are a limited number of parking spaces on the premises. Street parking is allowed.
ACCOMMODATIONS/LODGING
Overnight accommodations in the main house include either a single or double occupancy room with a private bathroom. Sabbath House accommodations include semi-private bathrooms. We do not provide individual keys to the residence rooms. Guests may lock their doors while they are in the room, but rooms are unlocked otherwise.
Most of the Franciscan Center presented overnight retreats include meals in the pricing. However, be sure to check the event details for each event to understand what is included in the price of your retreat.
All of our rooms can be accessed without steps/stairs. In addition, we have a limited number of ADA compliant accessible residence rooms with private bathrooms. All of our rooms have access to electrical outlets for medical equipment.
If you have any specific needs or requests, please contact info@fransiscancentertampa.org as soon as possible to allow us enough time to accommodate your needs.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION FOR ENTRY
Most of our retreats do not require formal documentation. For those that do require any formal documentation, you will be emailed instructions on how to complete and submit.
DRESS CODE/SUGGESTED ATTIRE
Each retreat is different. If you have not been given a specific dress code, you can email your retreat contact for further information. If you are coming from the north, remember to check the weather forecast for the Tampa, FL area before you pack. Our warmer climate tends to be a shock to arriving northerners.
WHAT TO BRING
Each retreat is different and any specific needs will be communicated by your retreat contact. As most of our retreats are inspired by spirituality and self-reflection, you may also want to bring a journal for notes or sketches during times of reflection.
WHAT NOT TO BRING
If your outside life will allow it, many of our guests have found peace in "unplugging" from electronic devices.
PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOGRAPHY POLICY
Please contact your retreat contact person regarding restrictions on the taking of photos and recording of videos. If this is allowed, make sure you have permission from fellow guests if they will be in the photo or video.
REGISTRATION WINDOW AND DEADLINES
Each retreat is different. Please check out the individual retreat details for this information. Or contact us at info@franciscancentertampa.org
ACCEPTED FORMS OF PAYMENT
We accept cash, check and credit card payments. We also accept Franciscan Center gift certificates.
AT-THE-DOOR REGISTRATION
In some cases, our retreats may accept late/at-the-door registration if there is still availability. However, you should never count on this. Call or email us to see if this is a possibility.
REFUND POLICY
Deposits and retreat fees are non-refundable except in the case of a retreat cancellation
EVENT ORGANIZER CONTACT
In most cases, your retreat organizer will be an individual outside of the Franciscan Center staff. You should send your retreat-specific question to your retreat organizer. You can send any questions regarding the Franciscan Center's space, your room and board, or the area in general to info@franciscancentertampa.org.
