Daily Life and Schedule

Sunday
We modify our Sundays greatly. This is a day of Church, rest, relaxation and reflection. We are not rushing to stay on a particular schedule. We reflect on our closing week, give thanks, and get ourselves prepared for the upcoming week.
Please note, that some items are also modified based on a variety of factors that could include things like weather, individual or group disposition, other projects or commitments, and so on. As mentioned we do like to stay flexible and make the most productive use of our time at any given moment.
Students are accompanied by Staff at all times, on Campus or off.
