I'll be there. Do you think the airport is going to let me store my jar of smuckers in my carry on? or will they have lube there for everyone to use?

Roman Catholic. Before the hate comes in, Im not a hard core raging catholic. I just go to a catholic private school and this retreat is a requirement to graduate. But that being said it was also an amazing experience.

I went years back, and not to ruin it for anyone, but didn't get too much out of it. I've never been a very religious person, and it was actually about 2 months after my Dad passed, so I was very in the dumps/far from a believer in anything. It was, however, a great chance to collect my thoughts and reflect on everything. My experience aside, a lot of my friends really loved and learned from it a lot more than I had, and I would still recommend it to anyone in the high school years looking to learn more about themselves and their faith.

I went last October and I thought it was a great experience. Going into it I didnt think much of it, but kept an open mind. It was just a great time to really explore my thoughts and what not. I didnt come out of it with a different view on the world, but I definitely made some great friends and had an awesome time. To those who dont want to go due for religious reasons, go anyway, cause its a great time socially as well. I really dont know how to explain it, its just a amazingly great time.

My small group and I came up with a saying on ours, k76:
Smoke an eight, drink a fifth, LT4.

Went on one and was a really good experience. I was surprised as it was more spiritual based and not necessarily Focused on religion.

The spiritual aspect is great, even if you're not a religious person like myself. I think if you have the means, and you keep an open mind, you should go. LT4

I went on it in November and am getting ready to be a leader in March. I'm also in the process of picking songs.
