About the EDWM Lenten Retreat
This will be a weekend filled with fellowship, fun, and food. Bring a warm jacket and winter shoes so we can walk downtown.
Our theme for this event will be centered around Celtic Spirituality, looking at how God is all around us, in everything we do and everything (and everyone) we see. We will spend time learning about different prayer practices and different ways to worship God.
Students attending are not required to have an adult mentor with them, but it is nice to have adults from their parish who want to attend. All adults must have gone through the Safeguarding God's Children certification program and agree to be background checked.
Packing List
We'll be sleeping the floor (with girls and boys in separate areas)Bedding (sleeping bag and pillow or sheets & blankets - bring air-mattress if you'd like))
Toiletries (there are showers, so don't forget your towel)
Comfortable clothes (it's camp and dress is casual - don't forget pajamas)
Warm jacket & walking shoes (there are nice trails)
Ideas for games and activities
Travel mug and water bottle (so we don't have to use disposable)
