Fall Retreat: What to Expect

9/26/2017

Fall Retreat is just around the corner! Next Friday (Oct. 6th) we'll leave together for our first trip as a campus ministry.

Here’s everything you need to know about the weekend.

Who Will Be There?

Our worship/teaching sessions will be led by Brishan Hatcher, worship minister at Highland Church in Memphis, and Mac Sandlin, a professor at Harding University.

Ministries from Arkansas Tech, Arkansas State, UAFS, and UALR are all joining us. Some of these ministries have been around for decades, while some, like Pulse, are fairly new.

What's Camp Like?

Camp Caudle is located in Scottsville, AR, about an hour northwest of Conway.

Here are some things you’ll want to know about the camp facilities!

We’ll be housed in cabins, so everyone will have a bed to sleep on.
Shower facilities are clean and well-maintained.
We’ll be spending a lot of time outside, but most of the buildings, including the cabins, are air-conditioned.

What Should I Bring?

Packing List:

Bible & something to take notes on.
Sleeping bag or twin-size sheets.
Clothes for a variety of temperatures. In October it’s usually warm in the daytime but chilly in the mornings and evenings, so plan accordingly!
Athletic clothes.
A towel and shower stuff…for everyone’s sake, bring these.
There will be plenty of free time, so if you need to bring schoolwork, feel free!
