RETREATS

For Please label all belongings!

• Water bottle

• Seasonally appropriate clothing. We recommend having long sleeves, pants, socks and sweaters year-round, as mornings and evenings can be cool. Clothing should also be modest (ie. no strapless shirts, spaghetti straps, crop tops, “short shorts”, etc. Leggings/tights can be worn with a long shirt.)

• Rain jacket (or other seasonally appropriate outdoor gear)

• Sneakers

• Rain/snow boots (depending on the season)

• Bible, notebook, pen/pencil

• Sleeping bag & pillow

• Towel and facecloth

• Toothbrush, toothpaste & other toiletries

• Flashlight

• Medications (medication for campers under 18 will be administered by camp nurse)

• Depending on the time of year, you may also want to bring a modest bathing suit, sunscreen, hat, and bug spray

Please leave electronics (including gaming devices, cell phones, iPads,) knives, magazines, trading cards, and valuable items at home.

Each retreat is unique, but our program directors work hard to ensure there is something for everyone. Typical retreat activities include daily worship services (usually in the morning and evening,) time outdoors, free time, and group activities that get campers moving while being inclusive to different ages and abilities. We also provide three meals a day, plus snacks.

For retreat attendees under 18, a volunteer nurse will administer your child’s medication. ALL medications (even over-the-counter and vitamins/supplements) must be given to the camp nurse during registration. This is for all campers’ safety and to avoid mistaken dosages and errors. Medications must be in their original labeled containers or sealed in blister packs from a pharmacy. These will all be returned at the end of the retreat.

While we cannot guarantee this, it is rare for a camper to be placed in a cabin without their requested bunk mate.

Of Course! Many summers, roughly half our campers are not affiliated with a church. Our staff and speakers are well aware and equipped to minister to children of all backgrounds. We encourage campers to bring their friends for a life-changing experience.

In addition to our cabin leaders being trained in first aid, retreats also have a volunteer nurse on site. This volunteer is responsible for administering first aid when necessary. In the event of a medical emergency, a staff and insured vehicle are available to transport you/your child to the nearest hospital.

Arrival and departure times vary from retreat to retreat. Details for each are listed on the Retreats page above and on our social media platforms.
