There will be two leaders per cabin who are background checked, vetted, EBC members, similar age and same gender. There will be no more than 11 people in a cabin and each cabin has it’s own bathroom.

In the Parent Pack, you will have the contact information of Pastor Dylan and Mrs. Holly along with the contact information for our Retreat Coordinator in case of an emergency.

Small group leaders for Fall Retreat must have a personal relationship with Jesus, and must be an ACTIVE member of a local church. They also have cleared background checks and have been vetted by EBC Student Ministry. Your student will be placed in an age specific gender specific small group.    

Students will arrive home by early Sunday afternoon.

Your students will be brought to the Edge Sunday afternoon.

 An extensive list of allergies was compiled off registration forms. Specific food options and housing options have been created to accommodate those listed allergies. If you forgot to put allergies down on your students form, please let us know as soon as possible.

We will be sending out a packing list so please encourage your student to check and double check that they have everything on that list. However, we understand that accidents happen and will have a select number of emergency items. 

Pastor Dylan or Mrs. Holly will meet up with you to retrieve your student’s medication and get it to your student.

A full packing list will be included in the initial registration packet closer to departure time.

We desire to make the most of this weekend, so we are asking that all devices be left at home. This means phones, tablets, laptops, etc. We will be gone for less than 48 hours and we want to remove as many distractions and temptations as possible. We understand that this is a big ask but this is also a means to help protect our students. When a student has a device, they have access to anything and everything this world has to offer. With students as young as 6th grade present, we want to mitigate as many instances as possible of students being exposed to temptation and sin. Please reach out to us if this policy brings you concern. I want to reassure you that your students will be with multiple leaders at all times and that you will be given multiple cell numbers of key leaders to use in case you need to reach your student.
