Sleeping areas are scattered throughout the retreat sight, depending on location. Children seem to develop their favorite spots over time. Staff are distributed in all of the sleeping areas. We do not separate children by grade, age or gender. They are free to sleep next to whomever they choose.
Some children feel more comfortable sleeping next to an adult.
This is always acceptable. My child likes to read before falling asleep. Bedtime looks like a library at retreats. My child is taking meds. But for safety reasons, we must know who is taking what.
