Three days of connection, reflection and fun!
​
Grant and Ali rented out an entire kids summer camp to bring a bunch of our favorite people together for an unforgettable weekend. It's a chance to reconnect with our authentic selves, build lifelong friendships, and just have some old-fashioned fun!

Relax and have fun
This is summer camp! We'll have tons of unstructured time to swim, boat, play games, eat, dance, and bonfire.
Set thoughtful life goals
What does a well-lived life look like to you? We'll help you define your personal success and set goals to get there.

The Logistics
Who's coming
We're aiming for 50 to 100 campers - big enough to be lively but intimate enough that you can learn everyone's names! You've been invited because you're a thoughtful, motivated, and caring person. You can expect to meet others who fit this same description! We encourage you to bring your significant other or a plus one. Kids are welcome too!
How to get there
Fly into the Minneapolis International Airport and take an hour and fifteen minute ride to Camp Icaghowan, 899 115th St, Amery, Wisconsin.
We'll have several shuttle busses throughout the day on Friday Sept 1st to take you to camp. We'll send shuttle busses back to the airport a couple of times on Monday September 4th. You're also welcome to rent a car and drive yourself.
Lodging details
We'll be staying in the camp's cabins, all of which have rooms that sleep 8 to 12 people. You'll have full restroom facilities with electricity and hot showers. Upon your arrival, you can pick out where you want to sleep for the weekend!
​
You will need to bring your own bedding and towel. We will provide one pillow per person.
Food
All meals will be provided! The camp has nice dining facilities that will accommodate any dietary needs. Meals are served family style, and will include hot breakfast (pancakes, eggs, etc), a full lunch with salad bar, and yummy dinners (think lasagna, bbq chicken, etc).
​
We'll also have snacks on hand and you're welcome to bring your own food/snacks to supplement. No alcohol allowed at camp.

The total cost for the retreat will be around $300, which includes a shuttle bus to and from the airport, three nights at the camp, all meals, snacks, and supplies.

Once you've RSVP'd, we'll ask that you make a $100 deposit via Venmo (send to Grant, @grant-schroll) or PayPal (gift $100 to gschroll11@gmail.com) to hold your spot. We'll reach out to collect the remaining amount due once we've finalized the costs.
