Weekend Schedule Overview

General

  • All participants stay at the church for the duration of the weekend; rooms are designated for sleeping and showers are available at the church; working team members (including clergy and lay persons) prepare all meals and do all clean-up.

  • All participants are encouraged to bring casual, comfortable clothes, and are expected to leave phones, beepers, watches, and such forms of distraction at home in order to fully enjoy the weekend.

  • Throughout the weekend a series of 15 talks will be given with table discussions following each talk. Worship, singing and prayer are part of the weekend as well as time for fun. A Camino weekend is not a personal retreat of solitude.

  • The weekend begins about 7:30pm on Thursday and concludes about 6pm on Sunday.
