Can I bring my children?
We encourage you to enjoy this time of connection with the Lord and your sisters apart from your children. The facilities will not allow us to accommodate children. However, nursing mothers can bring newborns and would need to choose a roommate(s) who would be comfortable with this. Please contact Jackie (jackie@jicc.us) for more direction if you are desiring to bring your child.
Will I be able to choose my roommate(s)?
Yes, you will be able to list a roommate when you register online. If you are open to meeting someone new or don’t know anyone attending the retreat, we can match you with a roommate and discuss it with you, so you will be comfortable. Please note that the overall cost is determined by the amount of people in a room.
What if I am not able to attend the entire retreat?
We hope everyone will come for the entire retreat, especially since it is out of town! But please come for as long as you can!
