Travel? Lodging? Food?
We will be traveling by chaparone caravan / mini van to Franciscan University, which is approximately a six and a half hour drive. While on campus, teens will be sleeping in campus dorms, 2-3 teens per dorm room on Friday and Saturday night.. Adults will have separate rooms nearby. Males and females will be housed in separate dorm buildings. While the staff makes efforts to dorm teens of the same gender from our group together, there may be teens from other parishes in a room depending on how our attendence numbers work. Meals will be be served on campus with dinner on Friday, all three meals on Saturday, and breakfast/lunch on Sunday; along with snacks throughout. Teens should bring money for lunch on Friday and dinner on Sunday during our drive.

Our group leaves from St. Michael at 9am on Friday, July 9th and would return back to the parish around 7:30/8pm on Sunday, July 11th.

In order to receive the St. Michael rate and participate in the trip, participants must partake in all aspects of the trip. For liability reasons, participants cannot opt to ride separately or stay in other accommodations and still be considered part of the diocesan/parish experience.
