Group Meals
Your ticket includes 9 meals—from dinner Thursday night to Lunch Sunday afternoon.
Taking Breaks
Take a break. Most attending serve in some leadership capacity back at home. We schedule plenty of downtime to meditate, reflect, and engage in a little self-care. This weekend is as much about re-energizing as it is about learning.
Building Playgrounds
We bring a small amount of scaffolding on site for you to design, build, and play with.
