Where will I be staying?
You will be staying at the Kerr Kottage! It is a small cozy detached apartment that we hope you will love as much as we do.
Where will I be eating?
Included in your fees we will be providing basic breakfast food and snacks. If you want to cook for yourselves there is a grocery store in Lakeside where you can get all the fixings. Otherwise there are options for places to eat in the valley.
Do I need a car?
Yes, you will be staying at least two miles from Lakeside so we would recommend that you have a car. Location for daily debrief is nearby.
If this is not an option for you, please contact us so we can discuss other options.
Could I make plans to meet with people while I am debriefing?
We encourage everyone coming for a week of debriefing to not schedule other meetings as having time alone is an integral and vital part of the debriefing process. We really hope that you will be able to unplug and enjoy the time away from your everyday distractions and responsibilities.
What do I need to bring?
Clothing – Be sure to check the weather in Lakeside before you come. You never know what the weather will do here so it is good to check. Do bring something warm to wear even in the summer!
Session Work – Bring your Bible, notebook and your favorite pen! You will be doing some “homework!”
Time-frame – Bring with you an idea of the time-frame that you are wanting to debrief. (i.e. - Last season of your life. Since you went to the mission field. Since your last assignment, etc.)
Is there a gym available nearby?
Lakeside has a gym.
What will my weeks schedule look like?
Here is a general idea as each individual debrief can vary:
Arrive: Sunday afternoon
Mornings (M-Th): Sessions from 9:30 am – 12:30pm
Afternoon & Evenings (M-Th): Set aside for homework and rest*
Check out: Friday at 10:00am
*Afternoons and Evenings are intentionally set aside for the work that will need to be done before the next morning session. Please don’t plan meetings during this week since the free space is there for you to slow down and pay attention to what God is saying to you in this season.
