high school camp details!

 -- We are leaving on Sunday, June 24, at 6pm from the Farmers Branch Campus (3035 Valley View Lane, Dallas, 75234).  We will not be stopping for dinner so everyone needs to eat before they are dropped off.  Please don't be late!
 -- We will be returning on Saturday, June 30, at 4pm (we will be texting parents as we travel so adjustments can be made to our arrival time).
 -- We will be staying on the campus of Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO.  The name of the event is MOVEand is hosted by CIY (Christ in Youth).  Here is some more information about Fort Lewis College.
 -- We have chartered busses with professional drivers to take us to Durango.  It will take us about 12-14 hours to get there.  We will be stopping occasionally for restroom breaks and meals.  Be sure to bring money for meals going to and returning from camp.  We will be eating at fast-food restaurants (3 meals on the way and 3 meals returning).
 -- Here is what CIY/MOVE tells you about their schedule.
 -- Here is what CIY/MOVE says about what to bring and what NOT to bring.
 -- Here is what CIY/MOVE tells you about how you should dress.
 -- The weather is considerably cooler in Durango than it is in Dallas.  Pack a hoodie.  Campers will be staying in dorms at Fort Lewis College.  Everyone should bring a pillow, sheets and blankets.
 -- When you paid for camp you paid for all the transportation and all the meals, as well as a t-shirt and necessary supplies for camp.  There will be chances to buy extra snacks and souvenirs throughout the week.  Send extra money with your camper if extra purchases are expected. 
 -- Phones, iPods and all other electronic devices can be used when we travel, however, we will be collecting these devices once we arrive in Durango and storing them in a safe place.  All electronics will be returned before we leave Durango.  If you need to contact your child during the week you can call Kyle Poff (214.437.0240), Brooke Johnson (903.880.3768) or Ryan Rainey (214.724.9568).  We will have our phones with us at all times.
 -- SUGGESTION:  Including plans for traveling days meals, snacks during the week and extra souvenirs, a student won't need much more than $100 for our week at MOVE.
