February 17-19, 2023 6th-8th graders Mountain Madness registration is now available! Please note that there are a limited number of spots. Spots will be given on a first-come-first-served basis. Here's some information about the retreat. The due date to turn in forms is December 31, 2022. Please note: we cannot accept late registrations. Here is the link to sign up: https://forms.archden.org/user/app/945f80ec Please keep this information as it contains important information for participants. WHAT IS IT? “Mountain Madness” is a conference sponsored by the Archdiocese of Denver, which is created for middle school-aged students. Approximately 1,000 teens come together from all over the state to grow in their faith, hear talks, watch skits, pray, and fellowship. The teens who have participated in the past have said that it was one of the things that defined who they are as Catholic teenagers. This is one of the best gifts you can give your teen. This year’s host is Popple, who our teens have enjoyed greatly in the past! WHERE IS IT? “Mountain Madness,” is at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado. The Phone Number of the Camp is (800) 777-9622. Krissy’s Cell Phone number will be provided for all participants parents after their teens have registered. Please only call the cell phone number in case of emergency (illness, death, etc). All other calls may be taken at the office. COST? The cost of the experience is $200 per person, which includes lodging, transportation (we will be taking buses this year), 5 meals, a conference t-shirt, and an amazing/life-changing weekend! Please note that this does NOT include dinner on Friday night. Teens need to bring $5 cash for dinner on Friday. There is also a general store with souvenirs and snacks that the middle schoolers will be allowed to use. They often enjoy going to get a treat. They are welcome to (but are not required to) bring extra money for the store. You can pay with cash, credit card, or a check (please make the check out to Spirit of Christ), and write the name of the teen in the memo section!
