This form is to register for the October 11-13, 2019 Young Friends "Creativity: Move, Make, Shake in the Spirit" retreat at Framingham Friends Meeting in Framingham, MA. This retreat will focus on helping participants get to know each other, spending time being creative in a variety of ways, and building the loving container that will support Young Friends throughout this retreat year.

Arrivals for the retreat will begin at 7PM on Friday, October 11th and the retreat will end after worship with Framingham Friends (around noon) on Sunday morning, October 13th.

The purpose of Young Friends retreats is to create a space where high school age youth can experience time spent in community, to explore the Quaker faith & its practices, and to engage with the retreat theme. In order to honor this purpose, we ask that all participants come ready to connect respectfully with others in the group and to participate in the structured activities designed to support these connections. We also ask that participants share in the chores that make the retreat possible and do not engage in activities that negatively impact the physical or emotional safety of other participants. Participants should not use drugs or alcohol or engage in sexual activity during the retreat.

This retreat is pay-as-led, meaning there is no set fee and families can contribute as their budgets allow. We accept cash or check (made out to NEYM) at the time of the retreat.

You will not receive a confirmation email after submitting this form. About ten days before the retreat you will receive an email with details and carpooling information. If we need an updated health/emergency contact form from you, the coordinator will contact you at that time.

If you have additional questions about the retreat or if your plans change, please contact the Young Friends coordinator, Maggie Nelson, at maggie@neym.org.

Please use one form per youth.
