Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who is the Athlete Overnight Retreat for?
You as a collegiate athlete. Additionally, it is best experience with others from your team. So, if you know teammates who find faith important or would simply come because you asked them, have them register!
Where do I register?

What can athletes expect when they come?
The goal of the overnight is for Athletes to experience God. This is accomplished by meeting together, having fun and embracing a spiritual vision to take back to your team. We will have official times together starting Saturday at 12pm (no lunch provided). Sunday will begin with breakfast, we will end our time together at 12pm (no lunch provided). Our official time together is scheduled for spiritual instruction, fun and time for individual and small group interactions.
When does it start and end?
The Overnight Retreat is 24 hours. It starts at 12pm on Saturday, and starts 12pm on Sunday.
Is this a lock-in? Will I get any sleep?
It is not a lock-in. We will have some official sessions for training and fun throughout our time. We will enjoy the later evening together on Saturday but will have a defined “lights out” time. One of the goals of the retreat is to refresh you as an athlete. Not to send you home tired and worn out.

Overnight and sleeping items. Additionally, we will move around for light game play. Optional: Bible, journal and writing utensil (However, we will provide most of what you need for activities and the training).
