Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Delaware
Who – Senior high youth, classes 2015 (this year’s grads) thru 2019 (incoming freshmen) and their advisors – ratio recommended per church is 1 “mature” advisor/chaperone, age 22 or older, per 6 youth.
Cost – $50 if you register by August 7; $55 by Aug 21; $60 by Sept 4. You arrange your own transportation (preferably as a church group). Our money will not be refunded in the event that a hurricane closes down the park (their rules). Our plan, barring a hurricane, is to go ahead with the retreat, rain or shine.
Please let Missy know if you are attending to arrange transportation.
Accommodations – barracks style housing, with 15 beds per room. Each person should bring their own linens or sleeping bag, as well as beach “things” (modesty, please). The facility is within walking distance of the beach on the ocean side, and the pier on the Bay side.
Arrival – Friday evening after 8 pm or Saturday morning by 9 am – the price would remain the same. Please tell us in advance if you are not planning on arriving until Saturday morning. Check-out time from the housing area is 11 am on Sunday, but you are free to stay in the park. Parking in the youth camp area is limited and we are allowed 1 parking pass per 4 people.
Program – We’ll have a worship service, as well as vespers/devotion times each day. There will be plenty of free time to enjoy the ocean, beach, trails, and other recreation possibilities within the park – without leaving it for the duration of the retreat.
More details will be on MAD Youth Facebook page as they become available – or you can contact the church office for a registration form.
