Black Hills Health & Education Center offers three types of programs: Medical, Support and 5-Day Educational. Each of these programs is explained in more detail below along with the fees and discounts associated with each. See our Calendar for the scheduling of each program. We would like to emphasize that each health program is highly flexible in terms of length and agenda. Talk to our Health Retreat staff before you come, to build a health program that will suit you.

Health Retreat Medical Program Fees

Our all-inclusive Health Retreat fee includes: your room, meals, treatments, doctor consultations, blood tests, dietician consultations, cooking classes, personal trainer, lectures, sightseeing tours, and much more!

19-Day Program
Single Room $4,500.00
Shared Room $4,100.00 each
Alumnus $4,100.00

12-Day Program
Single Room $3,800.00
Shared Room $3,400.00 each
Alumnus $3,400.00

We encourage guests to enroll for the 19-day program rather than the 12-day for several reasons:

1. Once a guest has gone to all the expense of getting here, they may as well stay for as long as possible.
2. The longer a guest stays, the greater the benefits.
3. Many times the ‘break through’ that a guest experiences does not come until the third week of the program.
4. Many 12-day guests decide to extend their stay to 19 days after they have realized the progress they are making; however, this generally comes with the added costs of changing airline reservations.

Support Program Fees

The Support Program is available for people who wish to accompany and share a room with a person enrolled in the Health Retreat Medical Program. People enrolled in the Support Program will: attend lectures, receive a personal training schedule, attend personal counseling sessions and cooking classes, consult with the dietician and be included in all the tours. NOT included in the Support Program fees are: massage and hydrotherapy treatments, doctor consult and blood tests.

19-Day Support Program - $2,795 (discount for shared room included)

12-Day Support Program - $2,160 (discount for shared room included)

5-Day Educational Program

Approximately four times a year we hold intensive 5-day Educational Programs targeted for specific condition, such as: diabetes, obesity, auto immune diseases, heart disease, depression, etc. These programs run from Sunday noon to Friday noon and include these features: a consultation with one of our doctors, lectures, cooking classes, strength training, supervised walking, room and meals.

5-Day Program
Single Room $900.00

Additional Discounts Available

There is a 10% discount available for guests who would like to bring a motor home and live in it for the duration of the program.

Children & Childcare

We accommodate couples who wish to take the Health Program but have small children or babies, as long as there is a child caregiver to supervise the children. Extra room charges for caregiver and/or extra family members will apply: $50/day per room and $14/day for meals (children’s meal rates also available.) This is a special per diem rate for nannies and children and does not include any of the health program, i.e. lectures, cooking classes, treatments, fitness workouts, doctor and nutrition consultations, blood tests, counseling or tours.
