No, absolutley not! Please feel free to bring a buddy who is of any faith or no faith at all. This event is simply an opportunity for men to hang out and grow as men. The men with no religious affiliation who have attended this retreat, have often brought some of the best insight and created some of the strongest friendships of all who attended.

All attendees must be 18 years of age or older at the time of the event.

You will be responsible for providing/finding your own transportation to the event. Check with other men in your church or your area, to arrange carpools and caravans. This sort of arrangement is not only convenient, but can make the event and the travel time even more enjoyable for you.

We will be staying in the cabins, and you must bring your own linens. So binrg a pillow, and either a sleeping bag or sheets/blankets for bed. All beds are twin sized.
