From the Campus Ministry Office

Retreat Information

Retreat dates, attendee lists, and permission forms can be found on the BCHS website, under Campus Ministry, then click "retreats."
Fees for all retreats are billed through tuition statements.
Due dates are extremely important since our retreat locations need accurate counts usually a week before the retreat to prepare food and facilities for our retreats.
It is helpful if the online permission form is the correct form that corresponds to the date of your child's scheduled retreat.
Please know that the Campus Ministry office is always happy to answer any questions you have.
