Schedule:

We will depart BCS at approximately 9:00 AM on Thursday, September 3 and return about 2:30 PM Friday, September 4, transported in BCS vehicles. Students will attend their first period classes before we depart. They may come in non-Bayshore uniform attire that day. Please NO spandex/leggings or very short shorts or crop tops.  

Students will enjoy a day of swimming, boating, sports, games or just hanging out. We conclude the evening with a chapel service, bonfire and s’mores.  

There will be 9 BCS staff members (upper division teachers and administration) serving as chaperones as well as Lake Aurora staff. Certified Life Guards will be present during all water activities.

The Upper Division retreat is always a special time of bonding for our students and a time to worship the Lord in an atmosphere away from the academic regimen of a usual school day. This retreat is mandatory for all upper division students unless Mrs. Humenansky gives a special exemption. You must contact her directly if your student is not attending the retreat.

All costs of transportation, lodging, activities as well as lunch and dinner Thursday and breakfast Friday are covered by BCS. We have an annual tradition of stopping at Cracker Barrel Restaurant for lunch on our way back to campus. Students are responsible for the cost of lunch at Cracker Barrel.
