We
apologize if you have tried to reach us via email or the website over the past
week. Our church server went down taking away our ability to communicate
with the outside world - we couldn’t access our files, email, phone numbers, internet,
or anything else that would have enabled us to communicate with you. We
wanted to shoot this message out last week so you wouldn’t be in the dark -
thanks for your patience and understanding.
Parents
Meeting – We are
having a parents’ meeting this Wednesday, 3/3/10 form 8:00-8:30pm for a time of

DEPARTURE
- Students need to
be at the church - GRACE CHURCH POWELL, 7600
Students
are encouraged to eat a snack before they load the buses. We are not able
to eat on the buses, so please don’t plan on eating on the bus. We will
arrive at Kalahari by 7pm - no supper is provided. Students are
welcome to pack a supper or purchase a food from the snack shop. The rest
of the meals are provided during the weekend with the exception of Sunday;
brunch will be served from 10-11am and students will then be on the road and arrive
home by 5pm on Sunday. Students may want to pack some snacks for the
weekend, but they will not be able to eat on the buses.
KALAHARI
– The middle
school student to counselor ratio is 5 students to 1 counselor who will stay in
the room with the students. The high school ratio is 11 students to 1
counselor. Students must stay in buddy groups so no one is every
alone. Students must sit together as a room during the sessions
and check in with their leader periodically during the water park time.
Safety is our number 1 goal and we will do our very best to make sure you child
is being supervised the entire time.
Modest
dress is required during the retreat. Girls must wear one piece bathing suits or wear a
dark colored t-shirt over a two piece. We do not want to see any
underwear during the retreat from guys or girls. Please use discretion about
tight form fitting clothing or shirts you can see through. If in doubt,
don’t pack it.
You may
bring money if you would like to buy things at Kalahari, however all your meals
are provided with the exception of supper on Friday night. There is a
large game room and multiple other areas to spend money, so this is a decision
you need to make with your parent. Please do not bring expensive items
that might get lost, damaged, or stolen. Cell phones, ipods, psp, and
other electronics are not permited at the retreat. You are welcome to
bring them for the bus ride up and back, but they must stay in your suitcase
the remainder of the retreat.
Please
bring your Bible, notebook, and pen to session every time. The speaker is going to be
sharing from God’s Word, and we want you to take notes and capture all that is
shared.
RETURN
HOME - We are
scheduled to leave from Kalahari at 2pm and we should be back at the church
parking lot between 4:30 and 5pm depending on how long it takes the buses.
