COVID-19 SAFETY POLICY:
(as of October 1, 2024)
The safety of our Lamb’s Retreat for Songwriters (LR4S) community is our #1 priority. Our goal for LR4S 2024 is Zero Virus Transmission. We require a rapid test on your Day 1 arrival at the retreat. We cannot risk an outbreak.
LR4S 2024 Covid-19 Safety Policy:
A) LR4S REQUIRES: A negative Covid test, taken on the day of your arrival (between October 31 and November 7). We suggest you take your test at home in the morning and bring the negative test in a Ziploc bag. We cannot admit you to the retreat without a negative test. If you test positive before arrival, email John D. Lamb immediately at: info@springfed.org
B) LR4S REQUIRES: Notify John D. Lamb immediately if you develop cold-like symptoms or test positive during your stay.
C) LR4S STRONGLY RECOMMENDS: Avoid large crowds and events in the two weeks before arrival. Tighten your exposure circle, so that you don’t risk getting Covid and having to cancel!
D) LR4S STRONGLY RECOMMENDS: Wear a well-fitting N95 mask during any public travel to our retreat. If you are flying, PLEASE wear a mask the entire time—in the terminal, on concourses, and on the plane. Airports are prime locations for virus transmission.
We reserve the right to adjust this policy at any time, depending on what happens with the virus, the CDC’s current guidelines.

“I had such a great time and I think the song I wrote on that weekend will work for a recording,…a classy bunch of people and a privilege to be associated with John D. Lamb. After Lamb’s Retreat I always think the same thing: boy, I so needed that.”
–Michael Smith
“I found Lamb’s Retreat to be a beautiful setting and welcoming community of writers, who took on John’s uniquely individualized song assignments with impressive results.”
