FAQs
What time should we arrive? How long does it take to get there?
Registration (located in the Welcome Center) will officially go from 6 to 8pm, but you should try to arrive by 7pm. Travel time varies for each campus (see directions above). It wouldn’t hurt to allow 30 extra minutes for travel, and remember it will be much easier to find your way around before dark. If you arrive after 8pm, go to to the Chapel to check in.
What time does the retreat end?
The retreat will officially end after brunch on Sunday. You will likely need some time after brunch to pack up your things and help clean your cabin.
Is there electricity? Should I bring my blow-dryer?
There is electricity in all the main buildings. It’s called a “camp” but it’s also a lot like a retreat center. They have indoor running water, flushing toilets, and all the modern conveniences.
