Jam-packed! |
Dear Parents and Children:
We strongly suggest following the checklist on this page.
Some find it helpful to print this list out while packing: Printable Checklist
Note: Sign-in at the retreat location for each retreat begins at 5:30 PM, with most children arriving between 5:30 and 7:30 PM. Supper is around 7:30 PM, but do know that we're prepared to feed your child no matter what time you arrive. Pickup on Sunday is appreciated by 12:30 PM (though some parents do come earlier to join us for worship, which is always okay). Children not picked up by 2:00 PM are shipped home UPS! (Kidding!)
Bring you! God’s one of a kind, fantastic and beautiful
person!
__ Flashlight, extra batteries (we don’t supply new ones…shock!)
__ Label everything! Including socks, undies, jackets, sweatshirts
and sleeping bags!
__ Bring sleeping bag or blankets, pillow, PJ’s/sleepwear
