SCECINA SENIOR CHRISTIAN AWAKENING RETREATS 2010-2011

Monday, October 11 through Thursday, October 14, 2010

Tuesday, November 30, through Friday, December 3, 2010

This form is an application to attend the Senior Christian Awakening Retreat. You will find the registration form below. The Retreat begins by meeting at Scecina at 5:30 p.m. on Monday/Tuesday evening. NOTE: No meal is served at the Retreat Center that evening, so be sure to eat something before you come to school. The Retreat ends about 5 p.m. on Thursday/Friday. The fee to attend Retreat has already been paid as part of your Senior fees in your tuition, so once you are registered, the fee has been paid. However, there is limited space on each Retreat, and it is first come, first serve. This form, completely filled out and signed, must be in before a space can be reserved for you on a Retreat. An August meeting was held in Senior Theology classes to give more information.

Teachers will be notified in advance of your intended absence from classes. Remember that you need to be in good standing in class and at school and that teachers hold you responsible to make up any work missed during Retreat days. Graduation supersedes the Retreat.

During the Retreat, casual dress is allowed, including decent jeans or sweats. Gym shorts and shirts and swim wear may be brought for the recreation period, but not worn during certain scheduled parts of Retreat. No dress-up clothes are needed, but do have some long pants. Temperatures in the retreat house vary so plan on layering your clothes.

Submitting the registration form below is an acknowledgment that you intend to live by all regulations that Scecina establishes for this Retreat, and by those regulations set by the Benedict Inn. Be aware that not to do so can mean dismissal and/or other measures taken by Scecina.

Rules include but are not limited to the following:

1. No alcohol or drugs will be tolerated. Violations will be dealt with as if at school.
2. No smoking nor chewing tobacco will be tolerated at any time or place during the course of the entire Retreat.
3. No weapons are allowed at any time. This includes pocketknives and mace on key chains.
4. Prescription medicine must be turned into Scecina staff along with signed written directions.
5. Ordinary non-prescription medicines can be provided to Seniors ONLY IF parents/guardians sign their permission on the back of this form.
6. One agrees to attend all functions during the Retreat. You need to be there the full time. There is little free time. One must be willing to listen to talks, to take notes, and to participate in discussions and in prayer and worship services.

9. Do not bring cellular phones, radios, alarm clocks, iPods, headphones, TV's, DVD’s etc.
