Be sure you remember your yellow wristband and “over 21” drink tickets on all days of the retreat. These are what signal to our food vendors that you should be served as part of the event. A yellow wristband will be given to you at registration when you check in.
Please minimize (or remember to fully charge) any devices you plan on bringing. Charging sources are limited. The Locker Truck will have charging devices that you can borrow for a deposit of $10. Return the charging device and you will be given $5.
We will have access to lockers in the Locker Truck parked in the Athletics Lot on Sunday and Monday until 11:30 PM. The Locker Truck has been reserved to keep your items secure during segments of the retreat where one may not want to be toting a backpack.
Info
YOUR MOBILE LOCKER TRUCK
Rented for Sunday, Sept 12th and Monday, Sept 13th and parked in the Athletics Parking Lot for retreat attendees use. Show your yellow wristband and secure items that you do not want to carry while having fun at the social events. The truck closes both nights at 11:30 PM.
