Host Site Facts:
Facilities: St. Theresa's offers use of their newly-renovated church and parish hall for all group activities. All indoor facilities are air-conditioned!
Lodging: Participants will be housed in St. Theresa's Religious Education Houses - one house for male participants, one house for female participants. The houses are not equipped with furnished bedrooms, so participants will be responsible for bringing their own air mattresses, sleeping bags, and pillows. They will be sharing rooms with 2-3 other participants of the same gender and age range (minors with minors, adults with adults). There will be at least one separate room in each house for adult chaperons and/or team members.
Bathrooms: Each house has private bathrooms which will be shared among the residents of that house. Everyone will be responsible for bringing their own towels and toiletries.
