Packing List


For a weekend retreat, you will not need to pack much. Please keep your bag light and simple! 


Packing List

Frequently Asked Questions

There is limited space for extra luggage. Please pack lightly, for this is only a three-day trip. Everyone will have to carry their bag until we reach our destination.  Suitcases, and anything larger than a standard-size duffel bag will be left behind. PACKING LIST

For this retreat, we have booked 4 vans. All mentees under the age of 16 will be in a van. We will, however, NOT release van assignments beforehand. This is to ensure that we focus on the quality of the retreat and relationship building.

This is a set price and as many of you are aware, inflation has made all activities, foods, and lodgings almost triple their original price. Please be mindful that we did our very best to ensure the quality of the trip was maintained while also keeping costs low. Any additional questions on this please email sara@arkanum.net 

The houses are big but not big enough to fit a group of our size. With that being said, some kids will be sleeping on blow-up mattresses or in their sleeping bags. This adds to the experience of being together, so come with a positive mindset and be ready for a fun retreat!

Parents will be updated in their WhatsApp Parent Group chats. If you are NOT part of the parents group chat, please email sara@arkanum.net to add you.

It will still be chilly so even though we are on the beach, remember that the coast is the coldest.

If your child has any sort of physical impairment that restricts them from doing physical activities please LET US KNOW IMMEDIATELY.

Food

All food will be prepared on site and all meals including meat will be halal
