Rest Reset Reconnect: High School Retreat

Join us March 24-26, 2023

Cathedral Ridge, Woodland Park, CO

March 24-26, at Cathedral Ridge, Woodland Park. We often feel tired, worn out, and truly exhausted. But why? Is it just the everyday struggles that leave us wanting a nap, or is it something deeper? Join high school students from around the state at Cathedral Ridge March 24th-26th to explore how you can be tired physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and how the divine gift of rest allows you to rest and reconnect. It’s time for a real break.

Below, is the covenant and consent form for parents and youth participants. Please answer each question and provide the information requested. If something does not apply, enter not applicable (n/a).

I agree

I/we agree to indemnify, save, and hold the church, its agents, servants, volunteers, and employees, harmless from any claim, demand, or cause of action of whatsoever nature or kind asserted by or on behalf of the youth for any personal or bodily injury, death or property damage sustained by the youth during the trip/event and the youth’s participation therein.

Conduct Covenant(Required)

I agree.

We, parents/guardian, and youth, understand that for a successful, fun, and safe service trip everyone must participate fully and with a good spirit. Therefore, we agree to the following pledge, as shown by our signatures below:

I (youth) will participate fully in each activity and task throughout this trip. I will show respect for the adult leaders, for my peers, for myself, and for the buildings, vehicles, and materials around me. This includes listening carefully to instructions and safety procedures and following them, as well as asking questions anytime I’m not sure what I should be doing.

I understand that there will be an 8-hour ‘lights out’ sleeping time every night and that I am to be in my bed and quiet during that time with my phone turned off.

I understand there is a strict no substance use policy. I will not bring, consume, or use any illegal substances, alcohol, tobacco products, including vape products, while on this trip. If I am found doing so, I and my parents understand they will be contacted to come pick me up from this retreat.

I understand there is a strict no bullying policy. I will treat my peers and leaders with kindness and respect. My language and actions will model Jesus’s love for all of us. I will respect the unique identity of each person I interact with during this retreat.

Should I have a misunderstanding between myself and another youth, I will first try to work it out with that person. If I need help, I will talk to an adult leader.

It is my responsibility to eat the healthy food I’m offered (medical dietary restrictions will be met), stay hydrated, use sunscreen whenever I will be outdoors, take my prescribed medication(s), and otherwise keep myself healthy. If I am feeling unwell it is my responsibility to let an adult know right away.

I understand my cell phone may be used for taking pictures, listening to music at approved times, and in case of an emergency. I agree that I will never post or tag another person’s photo on any social media without that person’s express permission. I understand that if I use my cell phone when I should be participating in worship, programing, or in any other way interacting with the group I will be given a warning, and if I persist in inappropriate usage my phone will be held by an adult leader for the remainder of the trip. Parents…NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS! Please refrain from asking your child to call or text home during this retreat, so they can be fully present with the group.

I/We understand that if I am unable or unwilling to participate in a safe and constructive manner, my parents/guardians will be contacted to come pick me up from this trip, at their expense or effort.

COVID-19 Policies and Procedures(Required)

I agree.

Parents/Guardians:

1. I/we understand my youth is required to be vaccinated for COVID 19 to attend the retreat: My youth has had at least two of the three COVID vaccines and if eligible has had a booster. I have included a photo copy of my youths COVID vaccine card.
2. I/we agree that if my child begins to feel like they have any of the COVID 19 symptoms they will report them to the trip nurse immediately and they will take a COVID 19 test if asked by the trip nurse.
3. I/we understand that the Design Team will do everything in their power to keep the group COVID safe and free from illness. I understand that in the event my youth develops COVID 19 during this retreat I/we are responsible for coming to get them and decide how we want to handle their isolation period.
4. I/we commit to sending my child on this retreat only if they are completely symptom free from any of the COVID 19 symptoms for seven days prior to leaving on this trip.

Photo Waiver - I give permission to use my child's image in the following formats:

Youth’s names will not be listed or captioned with their photo on any public site. Please don’t hesitate to be specific; we fully understand that while some families aren’t worried about their children’s photos being ‘out there,’ for others it is a serious concern and possible safety issue. We want to honor your preferences at all times.
