Accommodations:   All accommodations for this retreat are multiple occupancy, dorm-style housing. You will be housed with other individuals, but you may tell us who you would like to be housed with on your registration form.

Sponsors:   Cabin housing is available on a limited, first-come first-served basis for sponsors ($TBD/person total). You may request one of these 1-bedroom cabins on the registration form. If you chose to use the dorm housing (men with men, ladies with ladies), please note that on the registration form, as well. When the cabin housing is full, there are also a few hotels about 20 minutes away from the campsite: Holiday Inn Express (765-674-6664), Best Western (765-998-2331), and Super 8 (765-998-6800).

Dress:   Feel free to dress casually throughout the weekend.  We only ask that you dress modestly, so as not to distract from the benefit of the conference. We also ask that you wear a dark shirt and appropriate shorts for the water activities. Ladies, please wear knee-length, loose-fitting garments with appropriate necklines.

What to bring:   Plan to bring your Bible, notepad and pen, bedding, pillow, towels, beach towel, toiletries, camera, casual clothes, and shoes for informal services and recreation. You may also want to bring your own board games and some extra cash for concessions and some of the activities.

Meals:   All meals are buffet-style and are included in the price of the conference. Those on special diets must bring their own necessary supplements that can be prepared in a microwave.
Questions: If you have additional questions, please contact Ben Hicks at 317-292-4531 or email bhicks@colonialindy.org.
