Additional Notes
Classroom/Instructors
-
Remember that instructors work hard all day and need breaks. They will generally be in their teaching areas or exploring new crafts.
-
Classrooms will not be open after 9 pm unless chosen by the instructor. If additional time is needed in a class, please discuss it with the instructor to make arrangements.
-
Instructors will ensure that you are wearing your name tag for two reasons: to get acquainted and to confirm your registration for class participation.
-
All attendees are encouraged to be mindful of the classroom space and the needs of others. If you bring supplies or equipment for your projects, please do not bring them to the classroom until you are ready to use them, as this consideration is greatly appreciated by both instructors and fellow participants. You may keep them in your vehicle or room if you are staying at the retreat.
-
All instructors have obtained board approval before being included in the GPCAA retreat.
Mealtime
Announcements will be made during mealtime to keep everyone informed. Since meals are served at the retreat, we kindly ask that you refrain from bringing outside food unless you have a special dietary requirement. Meals are served promptly at 7:30 am, 12:00 pm, and 6:00 pm; please arrive on time to avoid missing a meal!
Meals are served buffet-style, complete with a salad bar. St. Benedict does not prepare special diet meals, but those with specific dietary needs are welcome to bring their own food and utilize the available refrigerator and microwave. Please note that classrooms will be closed during mealtime.
Snacks
Everyone is encouraged to bring snacks to share throughout the day or for late-night munching. A refrigerator is available for your use. We kindly request your assistance in keeping the snack area tidy and ensuring that refrigerated items are properly stored.
