Frequently Asked Questions

• What time will the group depart and return?
  • On Friday, March 28th check in will be from 5:30pm-6:00pm at Holy Trinity with departure shortly thereafter.  The group will return for 5PM Teen Mass on Sunday, March 30th. This will fulfill the Sunday Mass Obligation. All retreatants will sit together in the Life Teen section. Everyone will be dismissed after Mass.
• What is the theme this year?
  • TBD.
• What is the lodging like?
  • Middle schoolers will be placed in cabins that have heating/AC. There will be numerous bunk beds in each cabin. Two adults (both VIRTUS Safe Enviornment trained) will also stay in the cabin with them. The camp has young men on one side of the camp and young ladies on the other. The bathrooms are an easy walk from the cabins. 
• What occurs on the retreat?
  • The retreat will consist of 4 main sessions, each with a fun activity, a talk provided by a core team member, small group discussion and prayer. There will be opportunities for structured free time, sports, the camp store/coffee shop, and the sacrament of reconciliation. Eucharistic Adoration will be held Saturday evening, and an explanation will be provided as well as praise and worship by the team.
• My child is a picky eater / My child has food allergies. What options will be available for them?
  • We will know the menu closer the retreat dates. We ask all parents who are willing to donate a snack for the youth so they have things to munch on throughout the weekend. Food allergies such as gluten, dairy and nuts can be accommodated, there will be space on the registration form to let us know.
