For Youth Parents

Please note this is a device free retreat so do not bring any gadgets. To ensure they have the best time and be present for God and each other,  we will collect phone, tablet, laptop, and gaming devices at registration. We will also take it away if we see it during retreat. The devices will be stored safely with a counselor and return for the bus ride home.

 

During the trip, youths are responsible for their own medication. If they require special assistance, please reach out to a counselor to make arrangements. Additionally, if they are sick and require medicine they did not bring, we will call the emergency contact person before giving it to them.

 

Please join the telegram group HERE to get the updated notifications, latest pictures, and communicate real time with the counselors.
