The Wolf Creek Retreat has fewer than 15 employees so we are not required to adhere to the ADA. However, we built ramps on our footbridge to be wheelchair accessible, and we will provide a ground level restroom if it is requested. Your host/hostess can purchase a shuttle service package if they choose to shuttle handicapped/disabled guests to and from the Pavilion.

Effective Dates Beginning July 26,1992, employers with 25 or more employees are prohibited from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities. Two years later, on July 26, 1994, all employers with 15 or more employees will be covered. Employers with fewer than 15 employees are exempt. The EEOC and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations clearly mandate that all state and local governments, regardless of the number of employees and the receipt of federal funds, are covered by either the ADA employment provisions or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Government entities are covered by Section 504 until the ADA effective date is triggered in relation to the number of people they employ. All governments with fewer than 15 employees must abide by the Section 504 employment requirements.
