What memories do you have of the weather during the fall retreat?
“The weather at the Fall Retreat has usually been nice during the day time and much cooler at night…which is perfect for the bonfire! Hoodies are a great thing to bring to the Fall Retreat, and a warm sleeping bag!”

- Melissa Molder (4 retreats)

“Cold, cold, cold. It has always been cold. Sometimes people will talk the week before, like ‘Have you heard? It’s suppose to be warmer than we thought this weekend. Maybe we won’t be as cold after all.’ But really, it is always cold. I think there is just something about Mexico, Missouri. So bring your hoodies, stocking caps and sweatpants because you’ll be cold. (But only bring one pair because you don’t really change your clothes anyway).”
