TRUST Leadership Retreat

TRUST Scholars will be staying in the Good Earth Lodge cabins which have bunk beds and shared restrooms. The camp will provide linens (bedding) & bath towels. Please pack the following: 

• ​Comfortable, every-day clothes
  • Invited guests and some WWAMI Clinical Deans will be joining us, though the expected attire is casual. There will be a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, so we recommend you bring layers. On average, daytime highs are in the mid-80s, nighttime lows are in the mid-50s.
  • You can also view this photo collage of previous Retreats to get an idea of what students brought for attire. 
• ​​​Toiletries 
• ​​Water bottle  
• ​​Bug repellent  
• ​​​Sunscreen 
• ​​Flashlight 
• ​Sunglasses 
• ​​Comfortable shoes for uneven terrain 
• ​​Personal snacks – if you need something to eat between the provided meals
  • Personal snacks/food MUST be enclosed in a mice-proof container in order to be allowed in the lodging areas. Mice are common around the camp, so ensuring food is in a secure container such as a Tupperware or bear canister goes a long way in keeping them out of the cabins.
  • There is also a refrigerator available to us, so we are able to store cold items for you if needed. 
• *Optional personal/comfort items
  • Laptop/tablet – in case you’d like to take notes electronically
  • Journal/pen – for note-taking or personal journaling
  • ​Reading book
  • ​Cards or games to share during free time
  • ​Earplugs/Eye mask – if needed when sleeping in communal quarters 
• FYI – Verizon wireless reception is spotty and there is no AT&T cell reception at the resort. There is wi-fi available. 

Cellular service: Verizon wireless reception is spotty and there is no AT&T cell reception at the resort. There is Wi-Fi available.  

Camp Amenities: There will be some unscheduled time for you to make use of the various amenities at the retreat center. Please visit the Camp Lutherhaven website to check out the various amenities available. 

Liability Release Forms: All guests will be required to fill out a Program Participant Activity & Liability Release Form which we will have available at sign in/arrival.  

Smoking and Alcohol: Camp Lutherhaven is smoke-free; smoking is not permitted on-site. Please be advised that alcohol is only allowed in our meeting space and in the guest rooms. It is not allowed in the dining hall, the beach area, or anywhere outside. There may be other groups in attendance at the Camp while we are there, and we would like to be respectful of other guests. Please also be mindful of your fellow TRUST scholars and TRUST faculty/speakers as you will be in communal spaces for the majority of the Retreat. 

Service Animals: Per Camp Lutherhaven’s regulations, only ADA service animals are allowed onsite. 

Travel information will be forthcoming. Most students can expect to drive or carpool to Camp Lutherhaven.

There will be an opportunity closer to the event to submit dietary preferences and allergies and we will pass that information on to Camp Lutherhaven. All meals will be served buffet style, allowing guests to self-select the items that are more appealing/appropriate for them. Coffee and tea will be available during the Retreat sessions, and there are grocery stores not too far away. We may have a few snacks available but recommend students bring their own snacks if they know they will need food between the provided meals. As previously stated, please keep all snacks in mice-proof storage. 

We will post the agenda when it is finalized closer to the event. 

This Leadership Retreat was made possible by a generous donation. Throughout your time at the Retreat, please take pictures, notes, and anecdotes so that we can compile and share them with our donors. This allows them to virtually experience the Retreat alongside you!
