Staff sleep scattered about, crashing in each of the sleeping areas after our evening staff meeting. Nightlights are used throughout as needed or requested. Some children regularly request stories, backrubs or soothing music to help them fall asleep. Some children like to read themselves to sleep using their flashlight, which is perfectly okay. Parents are encouraged to speak with me directly regarding your child s nighttime rituals, needs or concerns.
Most activities take place on premises.
No one is allowed to leave the meeting property. Dress-up time on Saturday evening is a JYM Elementary Retreat tradition. Please label everything your child brings on retreat, from clothes to sleeping bag. Once we have received a Retreat Registration Form for an upcoming retreat, a first timer greetings and welcome will be sent to your child. Please call or email me if you have any questions.
