Youth Group Retreats

Since we are doing in person retreats on campus, our schedules will be rotating. This means the majority of the day, each student will primarily be rotating to different activities/events based on their small group. Every small group will have a different schedule and groups will move accordingly. There are a couple main areas/groups they'll be a part of: 

Large group: We will be socially distanced with masks in large group for the morning as we kick off and get started and for prayer in the evening. This will happen in the main church and/or auditorium.

Meal pods: We will put 2-4 small groups together to eat meals outside and socially distanced. Students will be able to take their masks off for this portion.

Outdoor games: We will place two small groups in an outdoor area to play games that will be socially distanced. Students will be required to wear their masks for the duration of their time outside, we will provided designated areas outside where they can take mask breaks alone and far apart from others.

Small groups: all talks, small group sharing, and small group activities will take place socially distanced in their small group rooms. They will use these rooms for the entiriety of the day and no other groups will enter.

Small Group sizes: We cap high school small groups at 12 students and middle school small groups at 10 students.

Each retreat will have two meals catered and individually packaged. We will reach out if there are any dietary considerations that you placed on your child's registration. Students will pick up a box meal/drink and sit outside and socially distant for meals. We will spread students out at lunch tables so that they have time to eat and clean up.

An afternoon snack will be provided, we will also make these individually packaged for quick/easy consumption. 

Hand sanitizer will be available for both snacks and meals.

All indoor areas that will be used for different activities will be sanitized between each group.
All outdoor activities/meals will use single use items as much as possible.
For games that require balls, they will be santized between groups and students will have hand santizer available to them during the game/activity to santize at will. 

While we pray for good weather so we can utilize our outdoor facilities, in the case of rain there will be alternative options for the students that will be indoors. We will be heavily sanitizing between groups that come. Weather permitting we will utilize fans to move air from outside into the rooms.
