This year we are planning two options for transportation to and from Woodlands.

Option ONE is to drive your student(s) directly to Woodlands Saturday morning and pick them up there on Sunday evening.

Option TWO is to bring your student(s) to the Lawrenceville Campus to ride a bus to and from Woodlands.*

*Students will not be permitted to drive themselves to Woodlands. No exceptions.

Retreat expectations will be reviewed upon arrival to Woodlands Camp. These will include: attending all sessions, being on time, following leader instructions, etc.

No cell phones are allowed for students. This includes any electronic device.

If there is an emergency and you need to contact your student, please please text our Parent Hotline at ‪(470) 822-3123.. Parent cell phone numbers will be added to an online group texting system. Parents will be notified via text if the need arises.

Medications can be checked in to nurse with the required medication form signed by a parent. ALL medications (prescription and non-prescription drugs) must be in the original container labeled with the patient’s full name, the date the prescription was filled, expiration date, direction for use, precautions (if any), storage requirements (if any), dispensing pharmacy (name and address), and name of physician prescribing medication. Students will be given instructions at Winter Retreat for receiving their meds. Individuals that may need emergency medications should carry the medications themselves (epi-pens, inhalers). When necessary, staff may be assigned to carry the medication; however, care will be taken to ensure that the patient and medication remain in close proximity to facilitate immediate administration. There will be nursing staff on campus to dispense medi-cation and provide first aid. All Students are required to have Health Insurance.

Please make sure all allergies are listed on the required medication and allergy form. In the case of food allergies, email highschool@12stone.com or middleschool@12stone.com, with your student’s name, grade, 12Stone® campus they attend, and any food allergies they may have requiring special dietary needs. 12Stone® staff will contact you and forward the information to the venue kitchen staff.

All adults leaders are background checked. Additionally, the adults who go on our retreats are the same adults that work with our students week in and week out. They go through an application process before they can serve. We bring 1 adult per every 8 students on the retreat. There are always at least two adults in every room when students are present (for accountability sake).

All meals are provided. Students can bring cash or card for the Snack Shack, Café, or Gift Shop. Paintball is also available during free time at $10 per game (cash only).
