Retreat Information!!

1) Information and Questions to Consider as You Prepare for the Retreat!

As you know, the time is fast approaching for our retreat together.

 

Do you know when to arrive and how you will get there?

Our retreat begins at 5 PM Friday, September 28^th and will last until Sunday, September 30^th at 3 PM. It is important that you make arrangements to arrive at Bradford Woods prior to 5 PM on Sept 28^th so that we can begin on time (e.g.-leaving IU at 4 PM).  If you plan to drive to the retreat please let Lee Ann Jourdan know at l.jourdan@insightbb.com   If you need to coordinate a ride, please let her know that as well and she will help!

 

Do you know where you are going?

Bradford Woods is a wooded retreat complex managed by Indiana University, but located in right off of Indiana Highway 67 (you shouldn’t get lost in the woods trying to find it.) The best directions and map can be found at their website: www.bradwoods.org. We will meet at Griffith Village. Once you turn on Bradford Woods’s property, turn left past the Manor House. Go to the second road to your right. Turn right, and follow the signs for IU-Journey/Griffith Village. Please park in the visitor parking lot on the left after you go up the hill.

 

Do you know what to pack?

Part of our retreat will be outdoors and … it is fall. Which means, in Indiana, the weather could be anything. Therefore…bring layers of clothing and outdoor gear that you can play and stay warm / dry in. Be prepared that it could be cool inside and hot outside. Our retreat doesn’t require special gear, just clothes that allow you to be cool / warm and comfortable both inside and out. You will also want to have comfortable athletic shoes, and remember, you are in the woods, so hiking boots might also be a viable second option.

 

Also…since we are not staying in a hotel, think “camping,” and bring toiletries and sleepwear appropriate to staying in a group cabin for a couple of nights. Bedding will be provided, but if you have a favorite pillow, blanket, sleeping bag etc. you could bring that as well. Remember to bring anything that will make your stay more comfortable.

 

Do you have all of your forms turned in (Commitment form, MEDICAL WAIVERS)?

Bring your insurance information to complete the medical emergency form. Please also bring your medical emergency forms, and your waivers if you have yet to turn them in.

 

Reminder:

  Please check your email regularly in the days before our retreat. If there is any last minute information we want to get to you…it will likely be in your email inbox.
