Is the retreat open to everyone?
All Regis employees are welcome. Elements of the experience will draw on Jesuit spirituality, but will be presented in a way that is accessible to participants of all (or no) faith traditions.

Activities will be planned to appeal to all levels of experience and fitness.

What kind of conditions should I expect?
We will be staying at the Glacier Basin Campground in Rocky Mountain National Park.  Camping is in tents only, but we will have access to flushing toilets and running water. The campsite has picnic tables and a fire ring. Cell phone reception is very limited in the park.

Do I need my own camping gear?
No. Besides clothing and personal items, we will provide any camping gear you may need. We are asking anyone who has basic camping gear such as tents and sleeping bags to bring them and let us know if they have extras to share. We will supplement with gear from the Outdoor Adventures Program and rent from outfitters as necessary.

REI offers a Comprehensive Packing List for trips such as this. Minimally, you will need to bring clothing for a wide range of weather conditions, A daypack and water bottle for hikes, a comfortable chair for around camp, and any personal items you may need.

Meals and snacks will be provided, and we will have all of the gear necessary for the camp kitchen and dining.
