COVID Protocols:

Masks: Per the conference, masks are REQUIRED inside all buildings or outside if social distancing isn't possible. When you arrive at the dining hall you will be asked to keep on your mask until you are sitting to eat with your church. If you get up to go the kitchen, we will ask you to put it back on. We did this in the fall as well. The great news is all arrived healthy and all left healthy. If this is what keeps these retreats happening amid an ongoing pandemic, it's a small price we can all pay.

Forms:

All print and fill-out forms need to be turned in on Friday at 2:00 PM before your student gets on the bus.
