RETREAT DETAILS:

The event this year will be held at St. Therese’s Camp at 7180 E Twin Lakes Drive, Wasilla, AK 99654. It will provide women of all ages an opportunity for sisterhood, faith sharing, spiritual accompaniment, free time and fun, reception of the sacraments, and more! Your Sunday Obligation will be met with Mass on Saturday evening.

When you arrive, you’ll get your lodging details from our crew, deliver your things to your cabin (if you need assistance with your things, we are happy to provide it!), choose your bunk and set up your bed, then head to the Main Lodge for Check-In. Check-In will run from 4:00-5:45p on Friday, May 9th, in the Main Lodge. If you need to arrive later than the check-in time, please let us know. We’ll be offering a full dinner that evening, after Check-In concludes. The retreat ends at 11:00a on Sunday, May 11th.

The $200 registration fee includes 5 meals with shared lodging and restrooms. Scholarships are available - please indicate your need in the registration. The majority of the lodging is summer-camp style with upper and lower wooden bunks - all bunks have mattresses, and you’ll need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow or whatever bedding you prefer. You may choose a lower bunk if that is easier for you. A packing list will be sent to all registrants the week before the retreat.

We do have alternative options for those who have mobility concerns; the camp has six bungalows with full- or queen-sized beds, and we are renting a port-a-potty to have directly in front of the bungalows for quick access to a restroom.

Most of our time each day will be spent in the Main Lodge at the camp, which has individual restrooms inside the building. The Dining Hall is on the lower level of the Main Lodge, but there is elevator access.
