Upcoming Special events
March 19-21: Spring Retreat
Get away from the yard and learn how you can grow in your relationship with Jesus. The theme for our conference is "Growth is a process." We will be discussing how you can connect to the Lord and experience joy and satisfaction in your spiritual life. Join us March 19-21.
Retreat Details
* 2 nights away from the Academy at a beautiful conference center near the Potomac River (near Hagerstown, MD) - only 90 minutes away!
* Expected departure Friday afternoon (March 19th) & return Sunday afternoon (March 21st).
* 3-4 large group conference sessions to help us consider our walks with Jesus
* 1 afternoon/evening of skiing at Whitetail Resort (This depends if they still have snow this far into he season). For those not interested in skiing, plenty of rec activities on-site or local mountain hikes are available!
Costs:
Retreat only for 1/C and 2/C $80
Retreat only for 3/C and 4/C $50
If you are interested in skiing there are no group rates for the year and you will need to purchase lift tickets directly from the resort. Buy an after 3PM lift ticket for March 20th. https://www.skiwhitetail.com/ Skiing Package for a lift ticket & equipment rental on slopes run about $130
Please never let cost be the biggest factor, as we have alumni and friends who would love to help provide the opportunity with scholarships. Just email Kyle to ask!
Please register if you plan to join us. The MO is approved. At that point we will need a solid commitment from anyone interested in coming so that the camp can purchase food and be ready for us. We are asking you to commit ASAP.
Registration deadline will be Friday March 12th at Noon. When you register you will either need to create an account or use Facebook to login.

FAQ:
Can we ski? Yes, it was approved for Saturday night. We will send more details separately after finalizing our registration list. The anticipated cost is $125 additional for 6 hours on the slope (1500-2200), you will need to buy your own tickets for skiing directly from Whitetail Ski Resort.
Do we have to ski? No, there are plenty of local areas to hike and an alternative activity onsite Saturday night for anyone who doesn't desire to ski.
Will we be allowed by COC? The entire COC (from squad leader through the Commandant) should be supportive of your weekend plans to be on this MO (as long as you are Academic SAT). It is an approved event from the highest parts of the COC. If you have or hear concerns, we will work with our O-Rep Captain Hemler to resolve them.
What if I need help with the cost? If $80/50 for the weekend is a limitation, please let us know ASAP as we have alumni with scholarships readily available to help!
Can we cancel next week if something comes up? Conditionally on a case-by-case basis. If you are put in isolation/test positive next week, we'll work with you. But other considerations like failing to switch a watch, study for a test, or having a last-minute change of heart over finding better weekend plans are not credible excuses to back out. I'll always encourage you to register as I don't think you'll want to miss out, but please also recognize your commitment
We look forward to seeing you all soon. Please let me know if you have any last-minute questions! Dan/Angle@Cru.org
