HAVE A QUESTION?

Maybe we can answer it…

When will I know if I have a slot?

The retreat slots will be confirmed in the order they are received from the registration form. You will be notified by email starting

Friday Nov 15th

Is there a waiting list?

Yes. You never know what will happen by November. We will keep an active waiting list.

Can I come late or leave early?

The expectation is that you will be attending the retreat from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. There are various activities that the committee has worked hard on and planned for each day. If you currently have arrangements that conflict, this might not be the year for you. However, life happens. Get in touch with the retreat leads or class coordinator if any significant issues arise throughout the fall.

Who’s running this thing?

Delia Patterson (Emily ’27) and Teresa Harvey (Lauren’27) are in charge of this year’s retreat. Any questions, reach out to them

directly or send an email to xmrconnections25@gmail.com.

Is there a refund policy?

No. This event is non-refundable. 

How many moms?

The number of available beds is 137.

How is this organized?

We organize the group by the graduating year of your daughter. If you have more than one daughter, we’ll figure out which class you

will bunk with. There will be class coordinator(s) for each class that will keep track of the group and coordinate information.

Will I get to hang with moms in other classes?

Yes! We group the bunks by class year, but we will have other opportunities for all classes to mingle.

Can I volunteer?

So glad you asked. Yes, you can be a class coordinator. Contact Delia or Teresa directly or send an email to

xmrconnections25@gmail.com.

Is there transportation?

You’re responsible for getting yourself to the retreat. We do encourage and organize carpools by class year.

Are meals provided?

Yes! This year we are happy to report that you do not need to organize or bring any meals. The Triangle Y will handle kitchen activities. However, clean up is yet to be determined…

What’s the camp like?

Remember summer camp? It’s like that - shared bunks and bathrooms. The good news is that each set of 6 bunks has their own bathroom. You will not need to put on shoes to brush your teeth!
